You can make some damn alright chipmusic with the following:

OpenMPT – good, simple tracker. Find some samples or VSTi's or whatever and get cranking

Famitracker – Wanna make NES, Famicom, or Gameboy (not designed for gameboy but you can essentially do it anyways) chiptunes? here's your basic tool

MuseScore – cheap and simple way to flesh out some ideas if you're used to using a staff. Then go from staff -> tracker or whatever using a different program

Audacity – shitty but free and good for final touches and simple finishing effects

FL Studio/Ableton/pick your poison with a decent VSTi like this http://www.tweakbench.com/peach works too

As for composition, learn basic theory and focus primarily on using a limited number of tonal voices effectively I guess

If you have a gameboy lying around somewhere and about $50 to spend you can try buying a smart card and load LSDJ (a gameboy ROM for making chiptune) onto it:

You can request for the website to pre-load LSDJ on the cartridge or you can download the rom somewhere and add it later. Even if you don't end up getting into chiptune you've got a cartridge you can load any gameboy game onto, which is still pretty awesome.

You could try Linux Multimedia Studio, which is supposed to be a decent free alternative to FL Studio.

>>14 Thanks for the composition input. I've expressed interest in dabbling into music production but always froze. I might just 'get my feet dirty/wet' with that so to speak. Got any more?

Use a tracker instead of a DAW.

renoise is the best, its a tracker that'll pretty much let you do whatever Famitracker, FL Studio, and any of the older mod and xm trackers will let you do.
