Startcom (http://cert.startcom.org/) also does free "low assurance" 
certificates. 

Their CA has already been accepted for the next major release of the
Mozilla products and, unlike CAcert, has undergone an independent audit.

See also http://www.hecker.org/mozilla/ca-certificate-list for Mozilla's
