I've been spending a significant amount of time learning more about Ubuntu lately and I have to say, Linux impresses me more every day. I figured I should share some of my most recent finding with my readers.
wget - This command line tool comes on Ubuntu out of the box, and probably other linux distros as well I would imagine. It is great for downloading things, giving you the ability to resume unfinished downloads as well as being quite a persistent little app. Not only that, but it also allows you to download full websites through it, which I still haven't learned how to use. Anyway, here are some links to help you get started using this tool.

Metasploit - This is a popular pentesting framework that I first discovered in my BackTrack distro. I wanted to start learning how to use MSF on my Ubuntu distro and this guide helped me get it setup fairly easily

Recoll - This great little tool allows you to search through your computer files. It is an open source application available for many different distros and it is not terribly bulky to run. I tried google desktop but that didn't quite work out for me.
