I tend to hammer my Ubuntu laptop. Running a website like Tectonic means I am constantly installing new applications to try them out. Many of which I later have to remove or lie forgotten on the hard disk until I start to wonder where the +40GB of free hard disk space went to. And when that happens I tend to back up the essentials - email, documents and website backups - format my hard disk and install a clean version of Ubuntu. Doing this every few months means that a few times a year I get to really consider what the most important applications on my desktop are.
"My five must-have apps for a new Ubuntu install" might have been a more suitable title, given that the choices are both GNOME/'Buntu-centric and geared toward a very specific need, not general use.
Interesting, nonetheless.
