Due to a hatred of the new ubuntu UI (I like a desktop UI on my desktop rather than being forced to use a tablet layout), the time came to switch Linux version (in this case to Mint Linux as it has a nice simple UI but means I can still use all the debian packages)
As it was a complete wipe of the HDD, i noted down all my Linux apps for reinstall and figured that maybe one or 2 others might find the list useful
VMWare Workstation (without which Linux would not be a suitable desktop operating system for me)
Jungle Disk Backup (Desktop Version and Server Management)
Guake Terminal (a simple and persistent terminal on the hot key F12)
Btnx (mouse mapping deamon and GUI)
Thunar File Manager (very powerful file rename accepts regex)
Truecrypt (because only the paranoid survive, and i carry client data)
FileZilla (the de facto Linux FTP client)
EASYTAG (The best audio tager for Linux)
LYX Document Processor (a great GUI for LaTex word processing)
Prey (enabling you to disable/track/find lost electronic equipment)
Streamripper (command line Internet radio ripper)
Mainstream (thankfully ported to Linux)
Skype
Lotus Notes
Spotify
Crome
DropBox
Games
Amnesia and Penumbra Games (quite the most shit my pants scary games ive every played esp Amnesia)
The humble bundle Games (i get them when ever there is a new bundle)
Linux Standard (Normally installed with most Linux distros now, but still used all the time.)
Libre Office
GIMP
GNome Mplayer
Audacious (the best music player for Linux)
VLC (for the rare times Mplayer does not handle media)
Mozilla Thuderbird (for backing up my Gmail)
