Open Source rules!

I've been using various open source packages for a while, but I thought I'd start letting other folks really know about them. I'm handing out Firefox to friends and encourage you to do the same! All are community supported and free!

Some of my favorites:

Firefox is an open source web browser with built-in search bar from Google, IMDB, and others.

Open Office is a complete application suite alternative to Microsoft Office, including a FrontPage-like web page editor.

I've just started using the GIMP, a powerful alternative to PhotoShop.

You can get these, and many other tools all wrapped up in an easy-to-use CD at TheOpenCD.org.
