Tools for the Starving Entrepreneur

I found a couple of very interesting (and free) tools that I wish I had known about earlier -
  1. SSL Explorer, an SSL based VPN solution. The company behind this product, 3SP, got acquired by Barracuda, but this product is still available from Sourceforge
  2. VirtualBox virtualization products. This is a wonderful product and is available for most platforms, including Macs. Quite likely this will be discontinued after the Oracle acquisition of Sun is complete, so download it ASAP. As an aside, Oracle already has 2 virtualization products - their own xen-based one and one from their Virtual Iron acquisition.
