Depends on what you are using it for. Need a database, MySQL, need a webserver apache2 with php. Need a file server samba. Photo editing The Gimp.
Note these all go on my systems, no matter the distro.

ubuntu-restricted-extras
ttf-droid (Lovely android fonts until ubuntu font is released)
ubuntu tweak
bleachbit
firefox 4 PPA
avant window navigator (if you want a nice dock)
indicator-applet-complete (So it groups all applets)
indicator-datetime (Indicator clock, it fits in)
geany (Text editor)
nautilus-elementary (It's from a PPA, google it)
Just a few things I install straight away. Also follow omgubuntu.co.uk

also if you are gonna use the droid fonts, create a file .fonts.conf in you home folder, and put this, and only this, in it:
Code: | <?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- ~/.fonts.conf for per-user font configuration -->
<fontconfig>
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Droid Serif</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>Droid Sans</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>Droid Sans Mono</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
