Well, I don't know exactly what you mean by "good software." The thing about open-source software is that most of them are actually ported to Windows, so you don't find as much UNIQUE software on Linux.

osalt.com, a directory for finding alternative free software.

My personal favorite software is Amarok, a media player.

go to the add/remove tab under applications it will list all of them and what they do.

Utilities like the gimp (a photo/art package) and games like quake!

I'm a Linux virgin but I've just bought a spiffing little Assus eeePC and I'm discovering what I can download and install!
