General Portals

Unesco free software portal info about and links to free software.


Download.com http://www.download.com/windows/ Find lots of stuff here. You can search for many of the software listed here, and see how popular or well rated they are.


The Free Software Foundation http://www.fsf.org/ The directory http://directory.fsf.org/ has lots of software, but probably lots of technical stuff. The GNU project http://www.gnu.org/ also links to the same directory.


Open Source Alternatives http://www.osalt.com/ lists open source alternatives to commercial software.


Idealware http://www.idealware.org/ provides candid Consumer-Reports-style reviews and articles about software of interest to nonprofits.


International Open Source Network, http://www.iosn.net/ stuff about open source. See FOSS general, then software. I think the portal to software is here http://www.iosn.net/foss/software/


International Free and Open Source Software Foundation http://www.ifossf.org/ actually, I'm not sure what this is, whether it has software or not. But it seems like an interesting organization.


101 Fantastic Freebies http://www.pcworld.com/article/143642/101_fantastic_freebies.html March 2008 lists a lot of downloads, some of which are listed here, like AbiWord


Best free software http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2260070,00.asp from Feb 2008. Briefly mentions many software, like Lotus Symphony and others.
