The first thing I do after updating a new install is get the applications I really 'need' to complete the install.

Unless already installed by default, I make sure to install the following...

AWN
Cairo Dock (If AWN is not available)
Docky (If AWN and Cairo Dock are not available)
Rar/Unrar
7Zip
gThumb
GIMP
Firefox
Google Chrome
Qbittorrent
Gnomebaker
VLC
SMplayer
Openshot
PiTiVi (If Openshot is not available)
DeaDBeeF
Clementine
Soundconverter
EasyTag
Audacity
LibreOffice
Abiword (If LibreOffice is not available)

[psyko_x]

Terminator
Google Chrome
Pidgin
VLC
Eclipse

Then I immediately uninstall LibreOffice and GIMP because they're so awful and just take up space

[Mindovermaster]

I don't keep a list, but from the top of my head:

Firefox
VLC
7Zip
Gimp
GParted
VirtualBox
Gimp
Blender
RecordMyDesktop
Pidgin
OpenJDK
TweakTool

This is a terminal bit (of course) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, after adding the medibuntu.org repo.

[lassekongo83]

I run all my "linuxes" in virtualbox, so I don't need that many apps. Just need stuff for designing themes, icons and stuff.
After an install of Gnome it's basically just this:
pacman -Sy gedit file-roller unrar p7zip unzip gnome-terminal gimp inkscape eog opera yaourt gtk-engines gtk-engine-murrine

And then some packages from AUR:
freetype2-infinality, fontconfig-infinality, awf

[+DonC]

• GNU screen

Well. That was an extensive list!

[vhane]

OpenSSH
tmux
Vim
Subversion/Git to pull down my dotfiles.

The rest depends on what the server will be used for.
