PC Putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

Used to connect from a PC to the RP to setup things e..g forcing video to HDMI 1080p 60Hz more info here http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/2169/how-do-i-force-the-raspberry-pi-to-turn-on-hdmi

PC WinSCP https://winscp.net/eng/index.php

Used to connect from a PC to the RP to copy files around using a nice GUI. You can also use SMB to share files over "Windows style" shares.

Linux (OpenElec)

OpenElec come with Linux so the full power of a desktop PCis on tap., scheduling jobs etc. I used Cron to turn off the HDMI for 6 mins to force the TV off each morning, and start streaming the news each morning.
