Tnanks for your share apps, i want to say open source is not safe .
I was just reading over the comments… Is it me or do people either have a very short attention span or is it that they are just slow? The title of the article is 19 Most Essential Open Source Applications The You Probably Want To Know. If you are currently unaware of Mozilla Firefox, I would have to assume you have been living under a rock or have chosen to skill 3rd grade reading class.
Anywho.. Nice list, 80% I’m actually unfamiliar with, and I’m glad you pointed them out. Nice work.
thanks very..

I’m really very useful to follow a long-time see this as a blog here Thank you for your valuable information.
Well worth checking all of these out!
Questions for all those who swear by Photoshop… How much does it cost? Did YOU pay for it? Would it be fair to say that Photoshop costs about $800 to buy? How much does Gimp cost? For those of us who are living and working on a tight budget. It’s a no-brainer. I understand the cost of software development and everything but why so much for a great product that needs no advertising. It could sell it self two-fold if the cost was much lower.
God bless all this people that do such things and give it away for free…
+1 for Open Office, And to add to the list a phone system that is multi-platform and scalable called FreeSWITCH throw in a multi-platform graphical interface called FusionPBX and you’ve got a system that is flexible and customizable for businesses and home use of all sizes.
