Just to help anyone who is looking for additional Linux Applications, here is a quick list of what I consider to be must have software (or at least very nice to haves). Its assumed in certain cases you have performed enabling "advanced mode". FBReader (Ebook reader available in default repository). VLC ( Media Reader for Movies/Audio, Plays just about anything). Check out their site to install. Opera 9.5 (I kinda like it better than Firefox 3 and its faster than the default Firefox 2). I used the Fedora 8 RPM version from their site. Gyachi (Yahoo Messenger with WebCam support - Seeing if it works with the Aspire webcam out of the box)
