Hi,
2.5GB is dangerously low. I'd guess you have a 40GB drive, so you should try to keep at least 8-10GB free, which you can determine easily in the bottom of any Finder window. The maxed disc space could be causing problems to your system like sluggishness, but I doubt it is causing all your apps to quit unexpectedly. That is probably more related to some kind of directory corruption. So, what do you do? Usually when apps start crashing unexpectedly the first step is to delete the preference file for the offending app. The preference file look like this, apple.com.iphoto.plist. All the preference files are in the same pattern, it's only the name of the app that changes. You'll find them at <hard drive/library/preferences< or you can just search the individual app preferences in the search box of the Finder window. Try deleting one or two for offending apps and see if they still crash. Also, because your directory is a bit funky you should run a maintenance app like Onyx. Install it and run Maintenance. It should sort out the directory issues to get your machine running again. Try these and post back with your results.
I also noticed your profile states 10.4.1. You should update to 10.4.11.

Make sure you get the right version for your OS.
Good luck!
