I think Amorak (for Linux) is probably one of the coolest audio players I’ve ever come across. I think Amarok 2 will have Windows compatibility.

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

by Dany2-step on Monday 10th of September 2007 at 12:15

Have you tried http://SpeedyLink.net

It was developed long before Tiny URL and has not been redeveloped using AJAX

by SpeedyLink on Sunday 9th of September 2007 at 21:16

Excellent list. I’d like to recommend adding to that list Auslogics Disk Defrag, CCleaner, and Feedreader.

by David Mackey (InformedNetworker.Com) on Friday 7th of September 2007 at 16:41

I find GOM Player to be the best one out there, wether free or not. I have tried alsorts, including all the usual MWC, WMP, WinAmp, Nero ShowTime, MPC, RealPlayer, and all the above with various codec packs. It really is outstanding.

by MHD on Tuesday 4th of September 2007 at 11:49

MPLAYER , the multimedia player who plays everything ... everykind of video / sounds / "flux" !

Please don’t forget http://www.shellcity.net/ for some really useful freeware.

by liderr on Monday 3rd of September 2007 at 21:11

I have a designed an open source app (hosted on sourceforge.net) that is particularly useful to people with their own domain + hosting.

http://brandonz.net/projects/zscreen

It allows you to capture region/window/full-screen screenshots, FTP them, and put the URL in your clipboard in a single keystroke.

by BrandonZ on Monday 3rd of September 2007 at 18:45

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:
Nmap for security
Ethereal - saved my tail a few times trying to figure out why data wasn’t going between browser and server.

No one has mentioned Firefox’s little brother, the email client Thunderbird either.

Nice, you got Firefox on the list, now fix ur website, because it only looks good in IE.

by Terry on Saturday 1st of September 2007 at 17:13

there are more free, useful applications at http://coolware.blogspot.com

by syahid ali on Friday 31st of August 2007 at 08:48

Good list. I’ll add madotate(3D windows), spacetime beta(3D browser),shock
4way(cube with 4 desktops) and xion(good music player with many skins).
Eye candy and toys all free.

by Kyle on Tuesday 28th of August 2007 at 16:25

you have to add neo office for the mac OS X. Developed from the open office app, but much better, and you don’t have to install X11 to run it.

I appreciate this list. As a developer, I am always looking for gode stuff that makes my life easier. I especially like the Feng-GUI service for attention-heat-mapping.

by Wolf Halton on Monday 27th of August 2007 at 05:33

I like this, saved it to my bookmarks :)

by mumbajambo on Monday 27th of August 2007 at 04:42

ClamAV antivirus should also ne in the list. www.clamav.net
It is available for Linux, and Windoze

by Mr Mainframe on Monday 27th of August 2007 at 04:19

Under "Development Applications (IDE’s)" I would recommend Lazarus with the FreePascal Compiler (Linux,OSX,Win ...). Looks a lot like Delphi.
Excellent for single bin files. Also great for CGI-Bin apps.

by Didi on Monday 27th of August 2007 at 03:56

Better freeware and Open source:

[A Firefox killer] Browser: OPERA
(Win,OSX,Linux,BSD)

[The best viewer] Picture view/edit: XNVIEW
(Win,OSX,Linux,BSD,Solaris+more)

[A Ubuntu killer] PC-BSD.
Install programs as easy as Window,
3D beryl desktop, and all the Linux program goodness you can install, and it’s FASTER and EASIER to use than Ubuntu :D

by storm on Monday 27th of August 2007 at 00:07

You forgot Miro, formerly known as Democracy Player. It’s cross-platform, and one of the easiest tools for dealing with vlogs and Web TV.

by Joe on Sunday 26th of August 2007 at 21:41

bout:
crimson editor
and
MWSnap

by me on Sunday 26th of August 2007 at 21:13

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.

by Ninara Poll on Sunday 26th of August 2007 at 14:26

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

by rogaine on Sunday 26th of August 2007 at 13:46

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!

http://www.jacklab.org/

by Dan MacDonald on Sunday 26th of August 2007 at 11:00

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.

by Larry on Sunday 26th of August 2007 at 10:51

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

Not at all open source but still good and free

by Russ on Sunday 26th of August 2007 at 10:07

IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.net/) be sure to download the plugins.

A very nice media viewer, most image, video and sound formats supported.

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.

Another to add to your list:

http://www.getlibra.com/

Freeware realistic cataloging software for DVDs and Books. Works with the webcam to scan in your items via barcode too.

by hubber on Sunday 26th of August 2007 at 03:26

Instead of Winamp you could try foobar2k (http://www.foobar2000.org)

by xyr on Sunday 26th of August 2007 at 02:41

Asterisk (www.asterisk.org) -- what office can operate without a phone system -- and Asterisk enables you to turn an inexpensive server into an IP PBX that rival proprietary phones systems costs tens of thousands of dollars (or more).

There is a list of free/open source software that I’ve paid for:
http://arc.nucapt.northwestern.edu/F/OSS

Popular programs omitted from your list: abiword, gnumeric, latex (and various tools), vim, filezilla, gnucash, putty, thunderbird, vim, vnc, inkscape

by F/OSS on Saturday 25th of August 2007 at 21:20

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:
http://geany.uvena.de/

by Jeff on Saturday 25th of August 2007 at 19:33

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.

by Southern Cross on Saturday 25th of August 2007 at 19:28

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

by Maisy on Saturday 25th of August 2007 at 18:45

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.

by Nils on Saturday 25th of August 2007 at 16:18

Azureus 3.0.2.0, Amarok, Pidgin 2.10, Gimp 2.4, Picasa, NetBeans 5.5.1, Thunderbird 2.0.0.6, jEdit 4.3pre10.

by xlinuks on Saturday 25th of August 2007 at 13:45

I have in my Blog a list of free apps, you can check it:

http://connectfans.wordpress.com/free-apps-in-here/

this is the post, as you can see some of yours are in my list, and you can enter for the links:

1- VLC* and Gom for playing all media ( it doesn�t play real media ).

2- for malware protection Antivir* (it has one of the best detection rate for last months but it doesn�t protect from spyware), Active Virus Shield ( it use Kasersky engine, umm you can call it Kaspersky lite), Avast and Clamwin.( somehow I don�t like AVG )

3- Windows Defender*, Spyware Terminator, Spybot and Arovax AntiSpyware* for anti spyware.

4- Comodo and Ashampoo for Firewall protection.

5- Paint.NET*, Artweaver for photo editing and designing.

6- OpenOffice* for Office and spreadsheets work.

7- Firefox* and Opera as stand alone browsers for surfing Net (I like Firefox more and it�s the default Browser).

8- Notepad++* notepad replacement and for PHP editing

9- Deep Burner* and CDBurnerXp for Burning CDs and DVDs

10- Google Desktop* for desktop search.

11- �7-Zip�* to open and make Zip, 7z and Rar and other type of archives ( 7-zip doesn�t make rar files and only open it ).

12- Thunderbird is an Email Clint like Outlook.

13- Utorrent* and Azureus for downloading Torrent files.

13- Orbit ,Fashget* and Freedownloadmanager as download managers that supports resumable downloads and multiple simultaneous downloads.

14- Any Video Converter Free, Media Converter SA Edition, Prism Video Converter and MediaCoder* as a video and audio converting tool between among different audio/video formats.

15- Amaya as a Web editor.

16- Limewire, FrostWire and Phex* as P2P client based on the Gnutella network.

I know this is a post :), but it’s a list.

by Murtadh on Saturday 25th of August 2007 at 12:47

Add these to your list

- Scribus, Desktop publishing
- Inkscape, vector drawing
- mplayer, video player
- Amarok, audio player and music collection manager
- emacs, text editor
- rdesktop, remote desktop for windows
- gentoo, linux distribution

by David on Saturday 25th of August 2007 at 11:34

I recommend Knoppix as a cool, useful operating and set of system recovery tools. It can save your bacon.

by wayn3w on Saturday 25th of August 2007 at 11:10

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.

by davecs on Friday 24th of August 2007 at 10:34

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

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.
