Get Marcel Gagne's book "Moving to Linux--Kiss the Blue Screen of Death
Goodbye". The majority of the book is on applications: customizing your
desktop, mail, browsers, word processors, spreadsheets, presentation
graphics, graphics & art, multimedia, games, . . .
He also writes well--this is one computer book that doesn't bore you to
tears.
