I recently configured Ubuntu 10.10 to dual boot with Win 7 and I'm absolutely loving it. Ubuntu boots and shuts down fast and also comes with a chat app for those people that like to stay connected. I personally love the workspace feature. Keeps me organized.

I'm still trying to find my away around but I've learned a lot since I first booted to my Ubuntu desktop so I'm starting this thread to broaden my knowledge. For you experienced/hobbyist Linux users post a small or large list (doesn't matter... the more the merrier) of some commands or applications that you couldn't find yourself using this amazing OS without.

I compiled a list of common Linux/Dos commands in this tutorial.

Thanks...those are simple ones though. I love the regular expression feature integrated in Ubuntu's find command. I'll keep searching for more advanced commands.

bum (Boot-Up Manager - Graphical runlevel configuration tool)
useful to manage system services

deborphan (deborphan - Orphaned package finder)
show orphaned packages

gedit (gedit - text editor for the GNOME Desktop)
I love this editor

guake (guake — A drop-down terminal for GNOME environment)
It's yakuake for GNOME, a must-have for me (:

df (df - report file system disk space usage)
Check how many used/free memory you got (-h for 'human readable')

That's what I remember that I use a lot.
