I'll kick this off with the following:

http://www.freehackers.org/~tnagy/kdissert/

Kdissert is a really slick little app that is kind of like a "mind map" only more... it runs quick, does it's job beutifully and.....has a flash demo...to show you how to use it... I've used it for a while with a business thingy I'm doing...

Soooo.....anybody else have one or two really slick Linux apps they want to post about?

Hello,

Well GParted is neat. It's a bootable CD app that allows you to partition your hard drives. Supports NTFS, too.

Hello,

It's alive master, it's alive.
Here's another one, not so little known but definitely useful:

Automatix
Automatix is a graphical interface for automating the installation of the most commonly requested applications in Debian based linux operating systems.

Automatix is a boon on Ubuntu and Kubuntu, specially for installing Flash, codecs etc.

Just a shame it screws up package management and security wherever it goes! IMO a great idea implemented by Microsoft developers... Very Happy

Gambas - for those who are used to Visual Basic programming. It's not exactly VB though, but some of the syntax are very similar to VB.
