Inkscape is "An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

ImgBurn
"ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit!
It has several 'Modes', each one for performing a different task:
Read - Read a disc to an image file
Build - Create an image file (ISO) from files on your computer or network - or you can write the files directly to a disc
Write - Write an image file (ISO) to a disc
Verify - Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you can also have ImgBurn compare it against a given image file to ensure the actual data is correct
Discovery - Put your drive / media to the test! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you can check the quality of the burns your drive is producing."

SpamTitan
SpamTitan is "the most comprehensive solution to email threats on the market today". I have implemented this solution to provide "protection from Viruses, Spam, Malware, Phishing and unwanted content" and it works very well. I used the VMware virtual machine image and converted it to run on ESX server.
- The interface is very impressive and setup was quite straight forward - no reading of the manual required.
- Uses two anti-virus engines: Kaspersky and ClamAV
- Uses OCR to detect image-spam
- Multi-layer anti-spam approach - scoring from several algorithms is compiled to provide a single spam score.
- The product checks for valid recipients (including aliases) against my Exchange server.
- Logging and reporting are excellent.
- There have been some false positives and initially it didn't block as much spam as I had hoped but as the Beyesian analysis has improved so have the detection rates.
- I have been monitoring the quarantine and whitelisting the domains from which we often see mail.
- I am not yet sending outgoing mail through my SpamTitan but this should improve the filters as well.
- After an upgrade, the ClamAV definitions were no longer being updated. I contacted support and they connected from remote (via a tunnel I opened) and fixed the problem. An excellent support experience.

NASLite-2 CDD
"NASLite-2 CDD is a Network Attached Storage (NAS) Server Operating System designed to transform a basic computer into a dedicated SMB/CIFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP and RSYNC file server. NASLite-2 CDD is specifically designed to boot directly from a CD-ROM and is intended for use in any low-security environment or application that requires the simultaneous availability of large amounts of inexpensive networked storage. A single NASLite-2 CDD server is capable of exporting terabytes of networked storage and is capable of handling 50 or more networked users easily and efficiently even when running on modest hardware. By design, NASLite-2 CDD is a community workgroup server and does not support features such as user management, disk quotas or the ability to join domains. However, it is very easy to set-up, to administer and to use."
Not free but inexpensive and looks quite slick. Also consider FreeNAS.
