One of the nice things about OSS is that there's simply TONS of free software available. This is never more true than on Linux (whichever flavour). Ubuntu (my personal fave) is no exception. Recently, I was introduced to a great site for Ubuntu users, Getdeb.net, which is a software portal, basically pointing you to great software for Ubuntu.
Going back to my childhood, i've had a fascination with the stars, planets, galaxies etc., and so it was with great anticipation that I downloaded Celestia, a 3D space simulator.
Basically, this software allows you to travel between the various stellar (and interstellar) objects which make up our universe (well, a little bit of it anyway).What fantastic software! You could spend many hours looking at the various planets / asteroids / comets / stars / galaxies / nebulae etc. etc. etc. (the list is endless)as though you were travelling through space yourself.
