Ah. "I enter the shop of the-101-flavours-try-any-number-for-free and
I don't know what to do next!"

Take a step back and think about why you wanted to use the computer
in the first place:
	1. Write nice documents.
	2. Calculate some things.
	3. Play games.
	4. Write/design games.
	5. Create graphics.
	6. Play audio/video.
	7. Compose audio/video.
	8. Impress your friends.
	....

This is the garden of infinitely forking paths and each one leads
somewhere. Pick one. After that you can pick applications specific to
that activity---look at "tags" under Debian as a way of looking at the
choices for applications or ask at TAG for more info.

Enjoy!

Kapil.
