Ubuntu always surprises me by making things easier in unexpected ways. But, it isn't always obvious, For instance When I was looking for a tool to RDP into windows, I found that Ubuntu already has an pre-installed app called Terminal Server Client which has this functionality.

I am sure there are many such hidden things which are not known to the average user. This thread could be used to expose these little gems.

EDIT:
Maybe the choice of my words was wrong, Are there any things which you found were not very obvious?
