Just installed Ubuntu...

I'm making a PVR right now, and I just installed Ubuntu on it: P3 1.4 Ghz, 512 Mb RAM Geforce 4, Hauppauge PVR-150, 2x120 Gb Seagate HD's. I have MythTV, freevo, xine, and Mplayer so far, what are some other apps that are a must for a linux system PVR or otherwise?

Are you getting really bad color banding at the default 24 bit depth? I first noticed it with my desktop background gradients. When I played an HDTV recorded divx, I noticed that the colors were really bad. Setting the DefaultDepth to 16 in xorg.conf helped a little bit, but at 16 bit color, it looks pretty bad too.
