Below is a list of some of the best free and open source software available. Software that has become indispensable in professional life. I've chosen those that are cross-platform; learn them well, and you can use them on every PC (w/ Win/Mac/Lin) you come across.
For students, these are an amazing set of resources and tools to learn, use, experiment on, hack, disassemble, and contribute to. Anyone with determination can be come an expert in any of the areas below and many, many more. It's sure a great time to be a geek.
Why, back in my day, free(dom) software was almost unknown and there were no tools that made experimentation and research as straightforward as today. ((shakes cane))

XMas '09 - A Great Time to Be a Geek
As the end of the year approaches I've been thinking about what a great time it is to be a geek. I can't remember another time when there were so many professional, modern operating systems to choose from.
Since I unfortunately don't have time to personally review all of these great choices at the quality I'd like, (or greater than has already been done), I'll link to the best ones I've found below.
