I have read lots of posts and stories all over the net about there not being SOFTWARE of comparable features and power for Linux. Many people are under this illusion and therefore choose to stay with Microsoft and pay out their asses to boot. Well I for one am tired of paying for software and operating systems. So I decided I would take some time and find very good software/operating systems to replace the crap I currently have had to pay for. Below you will find a list of Very good Operating Systems and a nice sized list of FREE (except when noted) software. I have tried to include everything that would be needed on most Desktops and Workstations and even included accounting and tax software as those seem to be two of the biggest problems. I didn't include any games, but rest assured there are thousands of very good games out there for Linux. Including Doom, SimCity, Civilization, Qauke and many more.
