- a bundled version of OpenJUMP with Sextante can be downloaded here
Quantum GIS
- another popular free software, where the GRASS extension provides raster analysis functionalities
MapWindow GIS
- a free GIS for vector and raster analysis
SAGA GIS
- a free GIS that is very strong in raster analysis
