I have dapper up and running on my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop, and so far I pretty much have all the software I need for when work sends me on travel. Things like email, word processing, PIM, basic entertainment etc.
But there are 2 applications I really use a lot that I can't seem to find.
The first is a good map program. I currently use microsofts streets and trips 2005, and I rely on it not just for basic directions, but for things like finding the closest ATM or gas station or hotel. Although there are decent online map web pages, I can't always rely on being able to get online without spending a bunch of $$$. I could probably duel boot my laptop to run streets and trips, or try WINE but I'd rather just have everything in one OS.
The second is probably easier to find, but I use a little software package called Admuncher which filters a lot of web advertising and makes the internet a little easier to deal with.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
