Open Source alternatives to popular Windows and Linux Programs
March 9th, 2007 by jamesOsalt.com is a site to help you find open source alternatives to popular software.
From their site:
Our mission is to provide easy access to high quality open source alternatives to well-known commercial products. And remember that open source software is also a freeware alternative.
You can search based on commercial application and it will find open source alternatives for that application. It looks like a useful site to find free open source software to take the place of expensive commercial applications. While many open source alternatives aren’t as good as their commercial offerings, there are some that are even better than the commercial closed source versions. Most people don’t necessarily need all the features of an expensive software package when the features of an open source program will do. Check out the site and see if you can replace some of the programs you pay for with free open source alternatives.
