Out of the box my OpenSUSE install gives me Sweeper (like CCleaner), Firefox, LibreOffice, LinPhone (VoIP, works with any provider using open standards like SIP or XMPP), Kopete (multi-IM program like Pidgin but integrated with the KDE desktop and other KDE programs, although Pidgin is available), Amarok (music/podcast manager, streaming music tool and device syncer, although Banshee is my favorite for this), Kaffeine media player, Choqok microblogging client, the GIMP, digikam for digital photo editing/lightbox/geotagging, KWrite editor - essentially everything listed above - along with a PDF viewer, Flash, java, archiver, bittorrent client, IRC client, image management program, an OpenStreetMaps-powered globe (like Google Earth, which is also available), downloading of all codecs on first use of the media player, a download manager, a scanning tool, a clipboard manager, a screenshot program, a CD/DVD/Bluray ripper/burner program, a PIM suite (e-mail, calendar, to-do, notes, diary, RSS aggregator, contacts), VNC server & RDP client/server, and a multi-pane & multi-tab file manager. The icing on the cake is that the whole thing (OS and software) takes up about 3.6GB install space, vs. Win7 alone using 10.5GB (both figures without including swap space/page files).
