This is a repost of stuff I wrote before I knew what blogging was. These are all excellent tools that continue to exist because of their superior quality.

Nothing like a clean reinstall to make me realize how many useful tools I take for granted!
Apart from the tools mentioned earlier this month, I found an urgent need to install the following software:
Password Safe encrypts database files for storing my passwords. It creates new ones, too.
Neutron is a tiny timesync utility to keep your system clock accurate.
MetaPad is a notepad replacement. You'll never want to touch notepad again!
IrfanView is the graphics and multimedia viewer.
Registrar Lite is a RegEdit replacement. Don't enter the registry without it!
Calypso 3.3 is an email client very similar to OE, but without most of its hassles.
Super Gravity is nice newsreader.
Soon the latter two will probably be replaced by 40tude, but for now it is a little too much of a beta.
Though I didn't have to reinstall this one, it deserves to be specially recommended. Not having to depend on an MS OS to manage booting from my partitions, made my job that much easier.
GAG, is a graphical boot manager that is so small, it lives through the death of an OS...

Now that I'm on Debian Linux, I'm still using Passwordsafe, should use GAG and keep looking for that perfect email client...
