Konqueror: well integrated, fast and extremely featureful browser (tabs, add blocking, javascript and java config (per host even), ditto for cookies, translations, spell checking in forms, etc, etc, etc, etc) as well as network file system browser (fish://, zeroconf browsing, lan browsing, etc) Kontact: a groupware client that works and works well with several different groupware servers and pretty well all commonly used mail and calendaring related RFCs; also provides RSS feeds (akregator part) providing integration with konqueror for one-click feed additons Kopete: multi-protocal IM client that supports most/all the latest and craziest IM features, sports metacontacts, integrates with kontact and supports the fast-becoming-defacto-standard adium chatwindow styles Konversation: the best KDE irc client available IMHO KTorrent: a very fast and capable torrent client with built in torrent searching amaroK: integrates my music collection with last.fm, wikipedia, amazon.com (automagically grab album covers) and other music related web services KWifiManager: easy management of my wifi card ssh/sftp/scp: -the- way to admin and otherwise work on boxes under the desk, in the other room or on another continent KWrite: in combination with fish:// i use it to edit files on remote machines. ditto for the KOffice apps, but i don't use them quite as often for this purpose in that way. wget: grabbing web and ftp content from the command line couldn't be easier links: amazingly powerful console web browser. team it up with ssh to securely perform remote web-based administration tasks as easy as using a full GUI browser. svn and cvs: allows me to work and collaberate on sets of documents with people from around the world (i use it for software development, document management and web site setup) ethereal: the only way to sniff the network nessus: best-of-breed security scanner with a client/server model hmm.. wonder what else i'm forgetting? =) -- Aaron J.
