I have found many of them so far but would like to see what everyone else can suggest. Thanks!

First, what do you mean by free? Other than public domain, software does come with a license of some sort (example GPL, MPL, BSD, Creative Commons, and many others). Each provide certain rights and responsibilities for you.
For a general use tool, I'll say Vim is one of the best application that I use for programming. If you are talking about operating systems, I'd have to go with Linux or Solaris. MySQL is a nice free database application too.
Not sure where you are going with the question though. If you just want a list of free applications, consider checking out sites like SourceForge, Apache, GNU, FSF, and others.

Hi, there.
First of all, I think it's important to know if you need it only for the MS-Win platform or maybe you're planning to change to another OS.
For windows I like to use openOffice 2.1; AVG antivirus; Limewire; winamp; firefox and thunderbird.
Other OS's
I'm using openSUSE 10.2 in a VAIO laptop and I really like it.
but you can try Fedora, Mandriva, Debian, etc.
Good luck.!

Change your operating system to UBUNTU. It's free, reliable and up to date. Plus you get all the software that you will ever need FREE!!!
