Making the Switch to Open Source Gradually
Quote: "Some of the best free and open source applications for Linux also have versions that run very well in Windows and Mac OS X. So if you have not yet tried or are hesitant to try Linux, you might download and try some of these Windows applications now, for free. You'd be surprised how good they are, and how they can completely replace Microsoft's applications, including opening and saving to Microsoft's file formats."
Comment: Great list...if you're new to open source tools, spend a few minutes looking at the tools listed.
