osalt.com— A whole website dedicated to open source alternatives of programs on both Linux and Windows platforms. An invaluable resource for anybody who wants quality open source applications

There is always the 'Express' editions of each of the VS programs, they are fully working versions of their VS counterparts minus a couple of features that most people probably don't use anyway.
Diggs sucks once again with titles like: "FREE Open Source Alternatives to Popular Programs on Linux and WINDOWS". Am I the only one or is this title a contradiction? Perhaps the article should be entitled "How I learned to stop worrying and love Linux: Open Source Alternatives to Windows Programs".... I dunno I haven't even read the article...don't think I'm gonna bother either.
And that's why we don't want you here on digg.The article lists (in a very crude and stupid way, I might add, because the author did a horrible job) open-source alternatives for popular apps. These open-source alternatives are both Linux and Windows compliant. Not that they're replacements for costly Windows apps that you can use for free on your Linux box.And don't make a reference to Dr. Strangelove just because you just finished seeing the movie. It was a very smart and well-thought out movie, neither of which you can ever claim to have achieved (intelligence or thoroughness).

I run Cygwin on Windows, and I use Nedit. Nedit is by far, my favorite text editor... never liked notepad++, just my opinion.

Of course, I have to mention jEdit. <a class="user" href="http://jedit.org/">http://jedit.org/</a>It has tons of plugins. If Notepad was IE6, Notepad++ is Opera, and jEdit is Firefox.

The author of clause has mentioned and has opened excellent and a vital topic presently. Clause is written interestingly and the main thing actual. The same theme on Russian sites: <a class="user" href="http://pivo.in.ua">http://pivo.in.ua</a> <a class="user" href="http://www.alcogol.kiev.ua">http://www.alcogol.kiev.ua</a>

Pretty useful site. I like the way they allow you to search both by 'program alternative' (ie. find an alternative to dreamweaver) or by general category.
