More Freeware

MCCY · Post by **MCCY** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 12:29 pm

I just discovered scribus, a nice DTP - program. I'm allways astonished how much excellent freeware there is out there. Let's start a list...

- I've heard of developers for a so called scope-platform MCCY & shroomz for example, they make fantastic freeware...

O.K. let's be serious:
- firefox (net)
- wavosaur, audacity, ... (wav-editor etc.)
- mp3directcut (cutting mp3s)
- blender (3d)
- gimp (foto)
- scribus (dtp)
- open office (office)
- VDub (video, for me xspecially trickfilm)
- artrage (nice painting for children & grown up)
...

O.K. there is so endlessly much more. We could focus on the big ones ...

I prefer Opera over Firefox

PHP
Linux
MySLQ
Apache
Python
Perl
Wordpress (with over 4,000 free 3rd party plugins)
Ruby on Rails

These are *the* important free software that rock!

Firefox is good but Internet Explorer 7 is perfectly fine.

If you are a webmaster / developer..
You could also add Eclipse / Netbeans / Java / Spring / Glassfish and could continue for hours.

But for "normal" users, Open Office or Gimp are certainly more rockin' than LAMP or Ruby

Visual Analyser by Sillanumsoft is a really good measurement tool.

Paint.net has less features than Gimp, but runs faster & is nicer to use for simple tasks.

PSpad is a nice text editor.
