Sporting nearly all the features of its Windows counterpart (well, the first version, anyway), Google Desktop indexes the data on your hard drive for lightning-fast searches. After installation, just press the Ctrl key twice to launch the Quick Search box, then type your search parameters. Google Desktop indexes documents, images, e-mail, Web history, and more. Needless to say, it’s a free program, and a must-have for anyone who lives in Linux.
