Recommended software

Linux is my OS of choice.
KDE makes the nicest desktop.
Mozilla is a very good web-browser for several platforms including windows. (I mainly use Konqueror though.)
OpenOffice.org is a useful and free replacement for a well known office suit. Works on several platforms including windows.
GCC is the C/C++ compiler I use.
ACE and TAO are good tools for distributed programming.
Blitz++ is a nice package for doing array computations.
Java is a decent programming language.
openSSH and GnuPG for security.
Slashdot is my main source for news on stuff that matters.
