an alternative to p2p and torrent programmes a little less consistent in terms of content retrieval but it is not tracked by the RIAA currently.

also it is not technically a programme as it is a search engine, it can be used to find i anything from e-books to music to more software, its is can also be used as a proxy although i have not found strong functionality with this feature

http://www.g2p.org/

its really helpfull if you need to find an mp3 whilst at school or work as most servers do not block it.

the site on which i found this helpful little search engine is

http://www.g2p.org/

this contains lots of little hacks from how to make a DIY mobile infra red transmitter to simple firefox ticks to improve functionality.

hopefully someone will find some use from these i use them regularly

If you get into development at all, you’ll need some more software than what you’ve got listed...
Apache web server
PHP, Python, or Perl library for Apache web server
MySQL database

That way, you can now run
MovableType or WordPress blogging software
Joomla!
or a number of other open source content systems.

Also, a good color picker, Winblows only unfortunately,
Pixie

Two great troubleshooting/security tools:

Not quite correct on most popular linux distros, at least if you use the distro watch stats. Distrowatch defaults to 6 months. For the past 3 months PCLinuxOS has beaten Ubuntu. I use both so it doesn’t really matter to me but I do find that PCLinuxOS is easier to use for a newbie.

by Les on Sunday 26th of August 2007 at 20:35

I must add AbiWord to this list. If you’re looking for a program that just does word processing, it’s fabulous, and it can read/write multiple file formats, including MS Office formats and OpenOffice formats. It runs on a variety of platforms, it’s open source, and best of all, it doesn’t have nearly the bloat or slow speeds of OpenOffice (especially if you’re using an older system, as I do).

I also have another candidate for antivirus software: Avira AntiVir. It also has a free version, and imo, it’s better at detecting viruses than AVG (which I used for 5 years), but it does seem to be prone to more false positives. ZoneAlarm firewall (free for personal use) and Comodo’s firewall (also free for personal use, if I recall correctly) are two great firewall programs.

not everyone uses windows -- how about we all stop assuming that?

IMO the greatest collection of F/OSS software today is JackLab, which is available to all as a freely downloadable DVD image. There is both a live and installable version of the DVD, which includes amazing free software such as

Ardour
Rosegarden
KDEnlive
Firefox
Ktorrent
DeVeDe
kino
mplayer / xine
k3b

and many many more!

I have had very good luck with Zone Alarms free edition for a firewall. I also use AVG free edition for virus protection. Very happy with both.

Here’s one for development:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008 (beta) Express Editions

Not at all open source but still good and free

Lookout - now hard to get outlook addin.

Once there used 2B a small firm who was sooo successful in creating a small and slick outlook search add-on, that needed .net and was so good, that Microsoft bought it out, and digested it into MSN desktop,,

It can still be found somewhere, not anymore in Microsoft realm.

I have not checked it on a 2007 system, neither vista.

How about clonezilla ?
Especially clonezilla live
http://clonezilla.sf.net/clonezilla-live

Clonezilla is a partition or disk cloning tool similar to Symantec Ghost. It saves and restores only blocks in use on the hard drive if the file system is supported. For unsupported file systems, dd is used instead. It has been used to clone a 5 GB system to 40 clients in about 10 minutes.

by clone on Saturday 25th of August 2007 at 19:43

Nice list!

My vote for some that are already mentioned:
mplayer, clamwin, and 7-zip (all excellent and all open-source)

And one more named "Geany" for the IDE category:

Opera version 9.23 Build 8808 is a great web browser. It’s an alternative to IE.

IObit Advanced Windows Care Personal and IObit Smart Defrag are great freewares.

TweakVI Basic is a great tweaker and optimizer for Windows Vista.

LogMeIn (www.logmein.com) - remote access - there is a free version for both PCs and Macs

I discovered Scribus a while back as well, but really can’t get used to it. I’m sure it has its merits. One might be able to some work with it after using it for a while. Currently, I just gave up however.

You might want to consider Scribus the Desk Top Publishing program. Originally developed for Linux, and included or a click away on many Linux distros, Scribus is also now available for Windows XP.

You are missing the Opera web browser and an accompanying web developer toolbar: http://operawiki.info/WebDevToolbar

by Curt on Thursday 23rd of August 2007 at 16:28

There’s a few here I didn’t know about, Kuler for one! Good work.

by PK on Thursday 23rd of August 2007 at 14:54

Great list!

by Harpo on Thursday 23rd of August 2007 at 14:53

I can recommend Inkscape as a vector drawing tool. Far from being finished as a project it does get you great results fast. Saving as .eps lets you work from there.
