I use TrueImage in Windows (paid for ) and for Linux, I backup my data and if it were to go wrong I would do a full reinstall. Make sure you test it out properly first! Never rely on a backup software without giving it a good bash. I learnt that with Ghost 9... *sniffle* http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l EDIT Hmmm just remembered that NTFS writing is experimental in nix, so it might not be a good idea to use a nix based imaging product for a NTFS partition... Anyone else got experience with this? /EDIT

The stuff I use all are freeware but some (Commodo) require registering their product via email. Note all are for Windows OS'. All but Mediacoder I've had a while and have run without issues on a fairly basic laptop. I find most of these utilities in particular the Open Source utilities are light and don't eat up unnecessary space/resources and do a really good job.
Security/Antivirus: Commodo Firewall Commodo Antivirus Lavasoft Adaware Spybot Search and Destroy CCleaner (registry and uninstaller tool) Document/Imaging tools: PDFCreator - Open SOurce GIMP (clunky interface but if you don't have the $ to spend on Photoshop it does a good job Open Source) Audio/Video tools Mediacoder* (still learning to use this but it claims it can do a hell of a lot in terms of transcoding exotic file types Open Source) Audiograbber - Cd ripper Virtual DubMod AlltoAvi Burning utilities Infrarecorder (very good simple to use GUI open Source) Music/Recording Software Audacity Kristal IRC Client ICEChat Last edited by hobbes_fan; 2007-05-21 at 11:05.

There is another "free" program for word processing, StarOffice from Google.
StarOffice normally sells for $70 or so, but if you go to Google labs and get their downloads updater, one of the offerings is StarOffice. So if you click it, you get it for free! |

I found some information regarding that issue that OpenOffice is derived from StarOffice. Here is a webpage that seems to explain it (or at least makes the statement) - http://web.mit.edu/ooffice/www/home.html .

Looking for some programs...
Lots-to-see-program

I know that they're lots of programs to do icons, but i don't know which one it's the best, hope someone can help me in that too. |

I'm using Everest myself. It looks like this. (The things at top right)
As for a icon software. I use Axialis. The icons you see on the screenshot are made with Axialis Icon editor. Here is a video tutorial how to make them

Some other software utilities for keeping your Windows based PC in tip top shape
Auslogics DiskDefrag (Free) - fast, much more thorough than your XP/Vista defrag. My experience has been it gets an additional 5% more than your standard defrag. HDTune (free) - HDD benchmarking and error checking tool DriveImageXML (free) - makes an image of your HDD on another HDD. Useful for backup of complete systems Darik's Boot and Nuke (free) - For security uses, completes wipes HDD, any data is unrecoverable once used. Reputed to defeat all known forensic analysis. ATItool (free) overclocking utilty for video cards, works on both NVidia and ATI cards despite its name. RIVAtuner (free) similar to ATItool Crystal CPUID - On the fly overclocking with multiplier management Also those with AMD X2 CPU's don't forget to download and run AMD's dual core optimizer. With the overclocking stuff, just take it easy and go little by little. |

Sorry I don't do that anymore. Look for the sites, learn what each does exactly, my descriptions are brief and they are not in depth. A direct link to downloads doesn't help users understand WTF these are for or help the understand how to use it. Used incorrectly some these programs can cause serious havoc. And I personally find it ridiculous that anyone is so lazy as to complain having to use copy, paste into a google search box to find a free program

Just curious if anyone can identify a program by its icon for me:
The one I'm interested in is that one with the fish, the second icon to the left of the Firefox one. It's a pretty snazzy icon when contrasted with Firefox, so I was wondering if it was some sort of offshoot of the Firefox project or something. Initial Googling didn't really come up with much.
