Some of them can be quite specialized, though might still hold an interest such as <a href="http://www.llnl.gov/sac/" rel="nofollow">SAC</a>, though that might be difficult for the lay person to setup (I have it running under OS X... you have to email the author). Another one that is sort of GIS'y would be <a href="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/" rel="nofollow">GMT</a> which can really produce some beautiful maps with a lot of data (ugggghhhh to programming batch files to get it to do what you want though!). Anyway, keep them coming, my list is quite lacking. :) Yeah, I was wondering whether or not to include various Unix/Linux programs in here.
