I have just installed 9.04 (Jaunty) and I would like to know what the best programs are.

Please list the name of the program and the terminal command if it's not in Synaptic.

Thanks,

I'm not really looking for anything in particular. I would like to get a feel for the Ubuntu OS and everything it has to offer.

The types of programs I use for Windows are:
-Audio/Video players and converters
-Ripping and burning apps
-Bit Torrents
-E-mail
-Old School video game emulators
-Photo Shop
