Got some more =) :

gtkam - digital camera software (works very well with a canon eos 400d)
gtkpod - ipod software
evolution, kmail, sylpheed - email client
gwenview - image viewer
xpdf - pdf viewer (because adobe sucks)
xCHM - Compiled/Compressed HTML viewer
RhythmBox - music

A couple of other places to look for alternatives to Windows software:

Also, check out your local Linux Users Group (Linux UG). Most LUGs have mailing lists or web forums with people willing to help out. Unlike most midrange Local UGs that I've come across, Linux UGs don't charge admission, but are more hobbyist focused than business focused.
