Screenshots of some useful Linux apps

Note: this is not a countdown. This is not even a countup.

1. Disk usage analyser:
This application shows how the disk space is being utilized among various files and folders in your system. It also includes a graphical, nested pie chart which shows in a straightforward manner how your disk is being used.

2. Amarok:
Amarok is one of the better of the (30+) music players available for Linux.
While the UI of Amarok has actually been criticized for being too clunky or something, I personally think this looks good. My only complaint is that between version 1 and version 2 the app seems to have misplaced its graphic equalizer.

3. Clock:
This is the default clock available in gnome. This sits as a time display on your task bar, until you click on it. Then, it displays a calendar, a world map with night/day shown, and local times and weather of any locations you add to it.

4. Brasero:
Brasero gives you a very simple interface to create and burn any type of cd/dvd/.

5. Panel monitors:
You can add applets to the panel which monitor CPU usage, Memory, Network usage, etc. I have set this up as something which becomes visible on mouseover.
Note the time on the analog clock: this was actually taken after the screen shot where it said 5:05 pm. In this one it's 5:15:27 pm; the second hand is hiding the hour hand.

oh yeah, btw, check out my wallpaper!
