It’s not the "Top 100", nor does this list contain the "only" 100 open source downloads you should consider - there’s a big ocean out there, so please keep swimming.
But this list does reflect the growing vitality of the open source ecosystem. It just keeps growing ... and growing ... http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/3689281 |

Some good stuff, most of the programs I do recognize in form or another so its should be some good stuff to use instead of dropping $500+ dollars for the same program.

once it loads ill see if my favourite open source program ever is on there!
nup, doesnt have it on there. so as number 1 best open source program ever is... Paint.NET!!! it replaced photoshop for me! i havent used photoshop for months, paint.net is way better and free. although you do need the microsoft .net framework to use it. i have quite a few programs that were in that list. |

I dont think that freewares are opensource. opensource gives out the code unlike the freeware counterpart with all the licensing envolve. To know the best open source programs go to www.osalt.com to find alternatives for those programs that are damn expensive and too proprietary.

That's correct, they are not equal but in lots of cases they are  . Relating to the osalt website, well only to say THANKS, i loose this url some time ago and never forget to search it again, it has a lot of cool stuff.Best regards, |

Come to think about it, the only place where I always find those open source alternatives are only from http://sourceforge.net/. However, comparing the reviews of those open source software from both sites, osalt website seems more comprehensive. But of course there's much more projects in sourceforge.com. Anyway thanks for the site. Cheers.
