FOSS software replacements for the expensive stuff you’re used to

I’m unemployed - by choice, mind you, but unemployed nonetheless. So when choosing software with which to provision my laptop for my upcoming year-long travel-tech-blogging adventure (8 days left…), I’ve been picking FOSS options every step of the way.

Microsoft Office -> OpenOffice
Photoshop -> Paint.net

…well, um, actually, that’s it so far as everything else I use is cloud (gmail etc.). Still - its really nice to have alternatives like the two above to choose from.
