Out of this list, I like Wireshark and Virtualbox, and find that Clamwin can be a bit lacking at times.
I think the Sysinternals suite (at least ProcMon) should be added as well.

Thanks for the reply. Yep you are right, my mistake! Sys Internals tools are AWESOME IMHO, but are not open source!2017 Goals:

* WireShark
* Nmap
and...
* SysInternals
I found AMANDA to look interesting. I'll have to give that a try at some point. -

I use OCS inventory as well.
I can't live without PowerGUI. -

Not sure how I forgot PowerGUI! The Script Editor is a tool I use daily.
I've never used the SharePoint installer but in the dev environment I am building that is sure to be a tool that gets added to my kit as well. -

Never used it. Used Veritas Backup Exec with tape drives before, but never Amanda, though it does look interesting to try!2017 Goals:
