With the recent release of Ubuntu 7.04 -- and the lackluster reviews of Vista -- a whole new round of Linux converts will take to the streets. But, what will they use for software? Although Ubuntu includes some awesome apps that many people use daily, this list adds 17 more that you'll find useful.

Obviously a list of Ubuntu add-ons can't be complete without Automatix2, and there are some head-smacking obvious finds among the other 16 but, you might find a few others surprising. For nuts-and-bolts useful, KMyMoney might top the list. After all, who doesn't need to keep track of their cash? What about Cinelera, the Linux answer to Adobe Premiere, or Scribes -- a serious note-takers application of fetish.
