1. Linux. Specifically Ubuntu. Hands down its the best distro for the desktop. (and it’s Debian-based, w00t!)
2. OpenOffice Free word processor, speadsheet, etc. Excellent compatability with Microsoft Office with the added benefit of additional features (like saving documents as a pdf directly)
3. Firefox. Web browsing done right.
4. Gaim An open source multi-protocol instant messaging client.
5. Thunderbird Email Application.
5. OpenSSH For secure connectivity and file transfers. Don’t connect without it!

7. J-pilot A Palm compatable desktop for linux.
8. XMMS A minimal audio player in the spirit of WinAmp.
