Here is my top ten list (in no
particular order) for Windows. I'll let everyone argue about the Linux
tools.

CygWin
[cygwin.com] the Linux-like environment for Windows.

Mozilla
[mozilla.org] naturally.... Use this for mail, news, and browsing if
you like.

WS FTP Light
[ipswitch.com] a FREE, FTP client that works great.

title="greenend.org.uk"> PuTTY [greenend.org.uk] a free SSH client
for Windows.

VNC
[realvnc.com] remote controll software, NOTE: the location is no longer
on the ATT Labs UK site.

title="gnu.org">GNU-EMacs [gnu.org] for Windows. I usually install
it, but use Vi more.

Dev-C++
[bloodshed.net] a free C++ compiler. I use VC++ 6.0, but this is free,
and I think it's pretty good.

NetHack
[nethack.org] You MUST have NetHack installed on everything...

Free-AV
[free-av.com] free Anti-Virus software for Windows.

Boingo
[boingo.com] to see where the closest hotspot is. (free) you don't need
the service.
