POTATO’S BLOG

Recently, I have been getting more and more into Open Source. So I have begun compiling a list of Open Source alternatives to commonly used programs. Let me know of any more.

Trillian – Pidgin

ConvertXtoDVD – DVD Flick

Office 2003/2007 – OpenOffice.org

Internet Download Manager – Free Download Manager

Whenever I remormat my computer or purchase a new one; I always have a set of programs that are essential to me. Here is my list, in no particular order … :

Pidgin – IM Client
Avast! Home Edition – Anti-Virus
Mozilla Firefox – Web Browser
– Adblock Plus
TrueCrypt – Protect my data
WinRAR – Archive my data
Microsoft Office 2007 – Word Processor
Visual Studio (C Sharp) – for writing programs
VLC Media Player – Video player
CCleaner – Cleaner for the computer
JKDefrag – the ultimate defrag program

I’m sure there are others, I’ll add them as I think of them. I am going to get a new computer soon and I want to remind myself of the things that I need to install.
