As a big fan of free software, I have fallen in love with Scid. It's a free chess database application, which will be familiar to anyone who has used Chessbase. While it's not as polished as a commercial product like Chessbase, it is just as powerful. It works great for storing, viewing, analyzing and annotating collections of chess games.
There is a great article on how to set up Scid and fill your database with a ton of games, over at the Scid users group on chess.com. It's a very basic, but easy to follow guide to installing on an Ubuntu machine, that should also be helpful for users of other operating systems.
