Paint is indeed very useful for painting beautiful squares and circles, but it's already installed from scratch with windows computers, no need to download it. dont know alot but for videos VLC.
Upgrade to Paint.net

When you can afford it, throw away that spinning hard drive and get yourself a solid state drive. If you are doing HTML and web server stuff, definitely set up a LAMP server and connect to it via putty or winscp. GIMP is a good alternative to photoshop or paint. Notepad++ is useful too. Good luck!

Photoshop is overkill. Also, Paint.net is free.

dont know alot but for videos VLC.You don't need such thing, just install CCCP which is a codec pack and use your windows player no need for more plays on your PC btw isn't MS Paint stock on windows <.< ?
yeah but useful one
but VLC is VLC , i prefer VLC more than any other Video Player.the only good thing about VLC is the ease of use as a reception streaming platform that's all to it, but you would be just adding ruddency to your computer for no reason, why you want to have 3 or 4 video players if you are just going to use one and rarely

My only suggestion is to not load it with crapware and unecessary software, one or two internet browsers at most (firefox or Chrome IE9 and tor on a drive), 1 antivirus with firewall (even the windows security essentials is enough for this), 1 antimalware and privacy software(malawarebyte, hitmanPRO,Spybot search and destroy) your codecs I recommend CCCP, and your SQL PHP software, notepad++ Java and you should be set to go

I highly recommend Malwarebytes.
Malwarebytes Anti malware is really good indeed, even the free version. It doesn't ask you to purchase every damn time you use it either like other free programs. Also free version isn't time limited, only the premium trial is.

I just bought the Acer Aspire One netbook. Link I also plan on upgrading it to 4gigs of ram.
If it is a netbook, i doubt you can install any database system and have it running smoothly. Just try the free mysql first, or use ms access to familiarise yourself with sql. If you have a desktop with a bit more muscle, install mysql on there and query the database on your netbook.

WAMP for MySQL , PHP if you really want to get into Html and sql . I'll also suggest either Notepad++ or Dreamweaver for coding
