Apps checklist for Ubuntu 11.10

Other apps I installed after upgrades and gnome-shell tasks, all available and searchable from the Ubuntu Software Center app:
1. 7z - better than Zip
2. Gimp - alternate opensource to Adobe Photoshop; handles layers and effects equally well

And some installed via CLI:
1. Image Resizer - reduces file size of images, integrated in the right-click context menu of the file manager (from a previous post)

sudo apt-get install nautilus-image-converter

sudo killall nautilus
