I have two of them :
FileZilla, which helps me a lot for ftp transfers. And WinRar, which is a must for compressing and uncompressing files. I lof the fact that using win Winrar I can unpack tar files, and gz and tgz files ! |

cool stuff. I never used WinRar for my compression. Does it do .zip files aswell? Silly question but just wondering as I normally use AlphaZip, which does them all. But alphazip is only free for 30 days or so.

WinRar has "rar" as default filetype, but it also compresses in .zip format. You should pay for it, but it does not stop working after 30 days. |

Winrar is the best compressor program after my opinion. It supports all the files as far as i know(havent had a file i could not uncompress with winrar). As said: it doesnt stop working after thirty days.

Linux is the operating system. this operating system sustains the freeware mentionned in the main topic subject : games, tools, third-party applicatins and other pieces of software. |

PC
1stpage for website design. www.evrsoft.com Personally I like it even better than Dreamweaver and it's hard to beat the price. Too bad they don't make a version for Mac. Anyplatform GIMP - If it wasn't for the Kodak and Flaming Pear Plug-ins I use, this would be a great program for graphics editing. It even does somethings better than PS in my opinion. Blender 3D - Best 3D application out there that's free. you can do professional quality works if you have the talent. Also great tool for learning the basic cheap and then transitioning to pro software like Lightwave, Maya, et al. AAA - this is an Axis and Allies Clone written in Java. Nothing fancy, but it plays well and within the rules on any platform. Vegastrike - Okay you really need a good computer and understand how to build the latest version from CVS, but the also check out the Privateer remake mod. Wing Commander Privateer has to be my favorite computer game of all time (okay maybe a close second to Tie Fighter Collectors CD), but Vega Strike is the same thing in a different universe and still extremely fun to play. Mac. Textwrangler - formerally BBedit Lite. BBedit is one of the staples of my editing diet Cyberduck - FTP client that is opensource Handbrake - Opensource DVD ripping software. Great when you need to get a DVD into Final Cut for editing. Solitare XL - Because you need Solitare Terragen - Great program that can use Xgrid. |
