Currently I'm moving around a lot, and relying on net cafes & friends' computers. However, I've been back on my old computer, experimenting, and I'm so impressed with some programs that I'm considering getting a laptop (if I can get one that's light and cheap enough), maybe late 2006 or 2007. Here are the open source software I'd like to use:

and... beyond here is a preliminary list - need to check if they're all available in Linux:
 * Linux O/S
 * Opera browser (v9 Beta looks good). Fast and usable browser.
 * Breeze skin - nice & compact
 * Widgets, especially the Viking reminder widget, & KnowledgeMate
 * NoteTab. I might even pay for NoteTab Pro
 * Easy Thumbnails. More than thumbnails - it's fantastic for resizing images, for emailing, personal use or posting on the web. Makes the files very compact for a given image size and quality. Nothing else compares.

For email, I'll stick with Gmail. Opera's inbuilt mail program caused me much hassle when I used it, and Gmail is the best thing since... well, email.
