Just read­ing in a StudiVZ-Group about free­ware for bio­chem­istry brings me to the idea to post this:

Bio­bar Add-On für Mozilla Fire­fox:
Search in Pubmed, NCBI-Databases, EBI-Databases right from your Browser. No need to surf to the webfron­tend of the service.

Lab­plot für Linux (KDE):
Like Ori­gin. You can use Lab­plot for regres­sion analy­sis, cre­at­ing graphs from data and many more. Only for Linux!

LaTex and Lyx:
Textpro­cess­ing another way. Not WYSIWYG but WYSIWYM. Get infor­ma­tion at http://www.lyx.org/ and here LaTeX@Wikipedia
Give it a try, it’s eas­ier than you think!

BioEdit:
I guess one of the most used sequence align­ment edi­tor for Win­dows. It works also with Linux, just run it with wine.

Gimp:
Not as good as Adobe Pho­to­shop but Gimp is free Soft­ware. Maybe it doesn’t look like a Win­dows Appli­ca­tion you are used to but give it a try. The new ver­sion should be great, you can try it if you use the 2.3.x Devel­op­ment Release and not the 2.2.x Release.

If you knew other free­ware for the lab post a comment.
