Nice list, also if secured properly RDP and VNC can be used for remote access (such as tunnelled through SSH).


RE: FREE Windows Software - de Baphomet - 04-07-2010

If you want, some art programs are GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Sketchup, Bryce


RE: FREE Windows Software - bigsharn - 04-07-2010

Raptr, XFire and Steam might be worth putting up as well, as gaming software

a list of major drivers could be good as well (NVidia, ATi, Intel, AMD... The main ones)


RE: FREE Windows Software - Mark - 04-07-2010

Maybe some Music / video software.

For burning, when on windows i use ImgBurn and just listening i use VLC. Smile
