Graphics
Sound
Games
- Battle for Wesnoth — a nice turn-based strategy with a HoMM2-like (but unique!) atmosphere, and it's absolutely open and free
- Civilization IV — the perfect time killer =)
Other
- Guarddog — a GUI for iptables (yes, I know, a true linuxoid must remember all the stuff, but...)
- Gramps — a professional genealogy program
