1st Page 2000 – For those who don’t like to WYSIWYG it.
Free Graphic Editors and Tools:
The Gimp – This graphics editor has been around for awhile, and can do just about everything Photoshop can.

Web Browsers:
Because testing in IE only is not a good idea 😉
FireFox – Is slowly taking a chunk of the web browser market, making up about 20% of surfers.
Opera – Used to be free, then was not free… and is once again free. Get it before they change their mind.
Best Free Scripts:
PhpBB – Forum software, with a large user-base and many mods and hacks available.
WordPress – WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. In other words – it’s good Blog software.
