On my list of 'things to be installed on the new box before I can use it productively' are:
- Firefox
- Thunderbird
- Vim
- Open Office
- Perl (or ActiveState Perl on a Windows box)
- PuTTY (on a Windows box)
I try to get the same toolset (FF, TB, Vim, OO, Perl) on all the machines I use so I don't have to remember different command sets when I switch from the Windows laptop to the Linux desktop to the FreeBSD Servers and back in the course of twenty minutes.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
