In this post, I mimiced the list of tools that Brendon Connelly lists.

I forgot to add some of my personal favourites and additions.

• Cygwin: Makes any Windows machine able to run a linux-like terminal
• Caffeine. Addicted.
• Ethereal: If you are a geek, you need this. Packet-sniffing goodness
• Trillian. Yeah, GAIM is open-source, but Trillian is just that much slicker
• Firefox. Runs anywhere; need to know more?

I know that most of these are more for the geek side of the house, but a lot of my traffic comes from those folks.

Leave your additions in the comments.
