Let me save you from M$ hell

1, 2, & 5-GAIM or trillion

Why 5? X-Chat is open source (although the full version of the build on the main site isn't free for Windows, there are plenty of free builds) and far more advanced in terms of IRC features than GAIM is.

I just tried out and bought Smart Draw it really good thanks for the recordation I don’t think network diagramming looks as good as in ConceptDraw’s NetDiagrammer but it’s still very good in pretty much everything else.

It's quite alright :)

I use it for network diagrams occasionally, but it's got so much functionallity other than that.

I use it for flow-charting programs and circuits before I begin writing / designing them. I've used it absolutely loads for my college work. Making GANTT charts and all sorts of things.

Nice to see another Electronics Workbench user :)

10. OTR (off-the-record messaging, plugin for Gaim rocks)

This list was just thrown together on a whim, so the apps are in no particular order of precedence.

No particular order:

vim (the most powerful editor in the world once you figure it out)

sylpheed-claws (it's the best graphical mail client you never heard of)

links (the best non-X browser you should really try but haven't yet)

OpenSSH (I don't want to even think what the world would be like without it)

GCC

Bash (I can't believe nobody mentioned this one yet...)

Ethereal/Wireshark

VMWare Workstation

par2 (since nobody mentioned it, I suppose none of you frequent newsgroups?)

PHP

How about the open source port (which isn't made by Microsoft) aMSN? The interface is virtualy identical, and has the same functionality (as far as I am aware), is cross platform and has other features such as contact Aliasing (good for getting rid of peoples stupidly long names).
