Applications I Installed for Ubuntu 11.10

Here are some cool apps I Installed and need to see Ubuntu as an alternative to Windows

1. Audacious

Audacious is a simple,easy and popular software used for playing music in Ubuntu.One of my Favorite. When an appropriate theme is choose from the  preferences option it just look like and more over function just like Winamp in Windows.Other alternatives for Audacious from my side is Clementine or Amarok (may be a little sophisticated ) but Audacious work great.

                                sudo apt-get install audacious

      2. Google Chrome

It is now a popular software in both Ubuntu and Windows and even though FireFox has a whole new range of change in its core Google Chrome is the best Web Browser . The new features, a lot of plugins and extensions and other features make Chrome the best browser/

                                sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

   
       3. VLC :- Video Player
