Open Source tips: alternatives to commercial software website
Thanks Eric!
The site is neatly organized into sections to help you find whatever app you are looking for. The sections are:
- business
- communications
- databases
- development
- graphic applications
- internet & networking
- multimedia & audio
- security & privacy
- system-utilities
- web development
When you click on an open source app link, you get to see a product rating as well as the ability to read or post comments on the software. There is also a pull out box that tells you open source alternatives to the app you are looking at. See screenshot below of a.MSN 0.96, an Open Source alternative to MSN messenger.
And for those of you who like to pay, or want to start, there's a convenient little Paypal button you can click.

Great list, although I already knew of most of them. Still having a look through to see if i can find a hidden gem. However if one more person says that the Gimp is a "replacement" for photoshop, im afraid I'll scream. Sure its a great program, but its nowhere near a replacement for Photoshop for expert users.

There are a few good ones in there, but if this is the best that "open source" has to offer against commercial software then commercial software producers have nothing to worry about.
