    1) Tasks (but of course!)
    2) Gentoo Linux
    3) Apache [with mod_php]
    4) FluxBox
    5) XMMS
    6) GKrellm2
    7) wmdrawer [app launcher]
    8) Googlizer [which i have also tweaked to open ANY url in the X clipboard]
    9) Open Office
    10) Evolution

    Since you were probably expecting WIndoze-type sw, this is what I use when forced to use Windoze (and it’s all *free*ware):
    MobyDock [freeware app launcher that has same mouseover effect as Mac OSX]
    Blackbox for Windoze (bb4win) [replaces Explorer.exe as your 'window manager']
    JSPager [creates multiple virtual desktops] (unfortunately its web page is MIA but I have the .zip file if anyone wants it)
    Shell WM [lets you 'skin' all your windows]
    Atomic TimeSync [makes it easy to use NTP to keep your clock correct]
    WinPatrol [keeps a constant eye on your system: watches for viruses, adware, spyware, etc]
    SSHD (using OpenSSH and Cygwin)
    PuTTY [telnet/ssh client]
    TightVNC [for remote desktop control]
