We're going to be packaging up a custom ubuntu DVD to try to entice new
users, and want to pre-install more packages than usual (we're using DVDs,
so the space won't be an issue).  We're going to try to include things from
our classes, but there are lots of other useful packages that are more
general - do you have any suggestions?  Here's our list so far:

DrJava (sucks, but is used for a class)
OCaml (+ ledit ocaml, omake)
Eclipse
LaTeX, and some useful extra packages there (which ones?)
Python (extra packages)
qtoctave and regular command line octave
vim and emacs extra packages
git, svn mercurial
MStt fonts
libreoffice rather than openoffice
