- KiCad- The best free electronics CAD
- http://www.kicadlib.org/ - Good source for libraries
- http://kicad.rohrbacher.net - online library part and module generator

- Gerbv - View you gerbers and delete unwanted parts
- gerbmerge - Merge your gerbers to one big panel
- Visolate - Gerber to milling optimized gcode "It will truly violates your eyes."
- Printrun - Controlling printer and sending gcode to it.
- Falstad circuit simulator - Simulate simple electronics with perfect components. Perfect for learning and testing simple things.
- HTerm - Terminal client. It hates processors, but the GUI is too useful to hate it.
- FreeCAD - Big and feature rich open source 3D CAD
- HeeksCAD - Easy free 3D CAD
- SMath Studio - Free and cross platformish MathCad clone.
- Geany - Good and fast IDE for every languange.
