OpenOffice writer (openoffice.org)

A great word processor with a little lack of design but if you just want to type for free it's the app for you.

PROS:

• Great budget program
  
• Lots of features
• there is a portable version at http://portableapps.com/apps/office/openoffice_portable
• supports: 

  Windows	Linux RPM	Linux DEB	Linux 64 RPM	Linux 64 DEB	Linux IA64 RPM	Solaris x86	Solaris SPARC	Mac OSX Intel	Mac OSX PPC

CONS:

• lack of user interface
• hasn't got that "fun" soul (you can't really have fun with it unlike other word processors
