The Dead Space Society

I recently reinstalled Windows XP on my lappy and got to the stage of reinstalling my software packages when I had an idea. Since my XP license was technically FREE with my laptop, I decided to try and see if I could find FREE replacements for all the my primary software installs. I'm not talking about spyware-riddled crap either. I'm talking fully fledged freeware (wow, new acronym - 3F) or open source licensed software.

My typical bare-bone setup goes something like this (let me caveat my 'needs' by saying that the majority stem from web hosting work):
Web Client
E-Mail Client
FTP/SFTP Client
Telnet/SSH Client
Multi-IM Client
Text Editor
HTML Editor (wysiwyg)
Graphics Editor
Word Processing Suite
Multimedia Browser
File Compression/Archiving Utility
Anti-Virus
Software Firewall
