Browser: Firefox
Network tools: Nmap, netcat, net stumbler, SSH
Media player: WinAmp

Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Deskwin - The best multiple desktop application for windows
Winkey - Keyboard shortcut maker
Daemon Tools - Cd image mounting software (say no to the adware)
Putty - Simple ssh/telnet application for windows
Yamipod - Awesome Ipod Manager

These speed up productivity incredibly Cool
All in favor, sign the waiver.

WinTools

Postby hannahbrian on Mon May 15, 2006 5:31 pm

    Putty to ssh to my Unix boxes.
    WinVNC to either connect to X-windows on my Unix boxes, or to connect to my Windows machine from a different location.
    Firefox - because it's the best browser out there.
Other than that, I don't use my windows machine - just Unix!

A shortcut to My Computer

Also, i like my desktop to have a nice backgound picture of Lindsay Lohan for obvious reasons.
