uhhm. Is Flex really to be considered open given that the client side of things is most certainly not open, and not very well supported on anything but wintel/mac?

The weakest list EVAR. This dude left a lot of much greater applications and listed mostly a bunch on niche apps. Open Office Cannot be that low (if they are in order of ranking). Where is Apache? Where is MySQL? Where is Firefox? Does he know what ESSENTIAL means? ESSENTIAL: absolutely necessary; indispensable:

VLC is an essential program for me and so is Handbrake without the two I would not be able to have a media server.

Just to let you guys know that the OTRS 2.3.1 Windows EXE package is MISSING POP3S and IMAPS support. The Linux version of OTRS 2.3.1 HAS POP3S and IMAPS support. Big mistake on the OTRS team. Other than that, it seems to be a very good product, but I'm still testing it out. Haven't put it in production yet.

In reply to my own post, it turns out that the Windows version of OTRS 2.3.1-001 DOES have POP3S and IMAPS, but you need to download the Perl modules for it or else it won't show up on the web interface. > C:OTRSotrsbin>perl otrs.checkModules ...> o Net::POP3......................ok (v2.28)> o Net::POP3::SSLWrapper.......not installed! (not required / for SSL connections)> o Net::IMAP::Simple..............ok (v1.17)> o Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL......not installed! (not required / for > SSL connections) ...

Some apps in the list are really good. I wish Drupal is in the list too.
