I actually do!,
Yes, I would recommend:
For UI: CompizConfig Setting Manager (for this, you will need to set >appearance>visual effects>extra). And CAIRO dock (or DOCKY or AWN dock).
For Web developing: BLUE FISH 2.0, Aptana Studio and FILE ZILLA.
For Graphic-Vector: InkScape
For Image Editing: GIMP
For Websurfing: Opera and Chrome. (Mozilla is usually the best, but I have been a little disappointed with its performance lately).
You will need WINE for some window applications, but make sure you get WINE and WINETRICKS. You can install Safari and Quicktime there as well.
All these are free, so you should be ok.
I have seen lots of users installing PhotoShop CS4 and CS5, but I havent gotten the time to tried that my self.
Let me know…

Thanks! Yes, I like the Mac so far, but you’re definitely right about there being apps for PC only. I actually usually work with both the Mac and PC side by side.

I’ve been planning to install Ubuntu on an older laptop, so thanks for the reminder Do you have any particular suggestions for nice Ubuntu apps?

Hi Mary,
Talking about Mac, I must admit that Mac has a really nice UI, and it is quite stable. The bad thing is that there are lots of applications available for PC only. But still, I dont like Win… I actually prefer Linux Ubuntu, I noticed that you had a post about Fedora over a year ago. I just wanted to also suggest you to give Ubuntu 10.4 a try, to me, it is a really great OS and much better in many ways that Win…
