Yesterday I destroyed partition table on one of my HDDs. University assignments, not-yet-FTPed websites etc.
Let’s assume your disks are already formatted, Windows XP has been installed (No, I won’t tell you why Vista is worse choice. And no, I won’t tell you why Linux is better. Not this time, but be prepared!). Here’s a list of basic software you need to start your freelance work. And almost all of them are free!
- Firefox - no need to comment :)
- Thunderbird - If you have more accounts than Gmail
- AVG Antivirus - Best choice for free antivirus software
- Skype - It’s still more popular than Gizmo
- Foxit Reader - Get rid of slow Acrobat Reader
- Psi - Jabber client, so you stay in touch with MSN, AIM, YIM (and many more) contacts
- VLC - Cross-platform OpenSource Video Player
- Last.fm - If you live outside US and can’t get Pandora
- Total Commander - Shareware, but still one of the best file managers
- putty - Easy and secure SSH client
- Cobain backup 8 - Automated backup software (version 8 is released under MPL license and works great!)
- TrueCrypt - Cross-platform data encryption software.. Read more @ Lifehacker
- Notepad++ - it’s just better. :)
