What is your favourite (legitimately!) free software? My favourites right now are Texter from Lifehacker and ClipX. I use BestFreeApps to review the best freeware out there, so if you know of any I've not covered, let me know.

Nice site. Must keep you busy.

Freeware is always free - right? 

Might be good to put these into categories....

Good idea re the categories and thanks for the comments re the site

My fave would be OpenOffice.org followed by Scribus, Gimp and Inkscape.  I read that Nvu is not maintained anymore and a suitable replacement that is would be KompoZer.

OpenSource FTW!

Even though it's ugly, VLC is a sweet little media player. I have yet to find a media file it can't handle. I also like Pidgin -- it's not as pretty as some other clients, like Trillian or Digsby, but it's truly open source and it does work pretty well. (I know you Mac folks like Adium, but it uses the same libraries, so it's all related.)
