Open Source Software

Filed under: Technology / Web — Ro @ 14:43

Hi Everybody,

I am trying to start using more and more open source software as against using high coast software such as Microsoft Office etc etc.

Open Office 2.0 - Link

A free to use open source complete office suite. Not only does it offer everything that MS office offers, it opens and saves to the usual .doc and .xls file formats.

Firefox 1.5 - Link

I love this browser and as far as I am concerned nothing even comes close. The array of useful extensions that can be downloaded and used are astounding. I love it :)

KeepPass Password Safe 1.04 - Link

I am only new to this programme… Basically it allows you to keep all those passwords and usernames in one central location.

Thunderbird 1.5 - Link

Thunderbird is the mozilla version of Microsoft Outlook.

Word Press 2.0 - Link

Excellent tool for building a blog. Database driven there isn’t much Word Press 2.0 can do. Thanks for my mate Steve Kinsella who told me about htis programme…

I will add more programmes as I find them…
