I've taken some network classes so I was really interested in this tool. It's called APS and it prints detailed information about network packets. Whenever computer is connected to a network, packets are transferred from the computer to the server and other computers. This tool is similar to Wireshark, a tool that I use on my PC. It's really cool because if you're troubleshooting this tool will inform if and where the packets are being dropped or misinterpreted.
Screenkast is a software similar to Snapz for Mac. It records what you're doing in the windows manager. This is useful if you want to record your actions on the screen so you can use them as a tutorial. The viewer will then see step by step exactly what you're doing. I've used a similar software to record my screen while surfing the net. Then I exported as a quicktime file and used it in a video editing project.
The final Linux app or software that caught my eye was GNU Ocrad. It's a cool OCR (Optical Character Recognition program). What it does is it reads bitmap images and it interprets them as text. This is very useful when scanning an image that has text. With this program you can then edit the text after you scan your document.
