Hmm , there are enough free software programs to fill your needs for a lot of programs. GIMP in stead of Photoshop / Paint Shop Pro Openoffice in stead of microsoft office Firefox in stead of internet explorer (mmh well.. IE is free..) Thunderbird in stead of Microsoft Outlouk Lots more :

In my opinion there are a few programs/browser plug-ins you need for your computer. 1. Sun Java 2. Flash Player 3. Shockwave Player 4. Adobe Acrobat Reader 5. Spybot Search and Destroy 6. Quicktime Player 7. Firefox Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head I'm sure there are more. Also the plug-ins I listed are required for veiwing alot of internet media so you should get them.

So many to chose from, so I'll just add on to those that have already been posted: For FTP things I like FilezillaI use PasswordSafe to store my passwords. For older computers Firefox is way too big & heavy, so there you can (if you don't want to use IE), use K-Meleon, or the IE wrapper app called Maxthon. I use AVG anti-virus, which is free, and so are the updates. And I use a free version of Tiny Personal Firewall as my firewall. Also, there are loads of neat little apps on TinyApps.

There's loads of programs out there for just about anything, and most of the programs I use are already listed on here, but heres a list: Azureus For BitTorrent downloads Spyware Blaster To prevent spyware from being installed onto your computer AVG Anti-Virus For an A-V program Quintessential CD Player [QCD Player] as an alternate media player. I prefer this program over all the others, becase it uses a very low amount of ram. Daemon Tools To create back-up ISO's of your CD's and DVD's

I dont personnaly use freeware - because its usually tacky software that companies use for testing. And they are unstable. But the good freeware applications i know are: GIMP Paint.Net Visual Basic - C, .Net, C#, J#, J+, C++, and more (<-- Those are just ace!) Notepad++ Ad-Aware SE Personal WS_FTP and CORE FTP PHP and APACHE server Good list but i think thats all

Website Development Compared To Application Software Development
A Newbies View Website,PHP,MySQL,Apache (10) Hi, I just wanted to share some concerns that I have as a newbie in the website development area.

AJAX,CSS,HTML,PHP,Javascript,MySQL,Apache - You need to learn a lot of new things if you want to
design a functional and attractive website. But if you want to develop application software, you
just need to learn a language - thats it. Any one language is sufficient for you to develop a full
