The usual suspects are on this list, but there are a good number I never heard of or completely forgot about. Overall, it's a pretty good list.

open source all the way.....I guess I might as well soon delete my windows partition and just use Linux....I have just recently switched them, ie. making my Linux one 35 gigs and my windows one 10 gigs, rather than the other way around.

Although I might keep windows around just for emergencies, since I use my computer for lots of university work, and cant afford compatibility issues or anything like that.
