[Beefy]

K, list is updated. I think I got them all. I left out the games though. We can save that for another page.

shareware has it's uses - but I think note should be made of the fact if they are going to be placed within a "Freeware" list

[Beefy]

I removed the few shareware apps I put in there originally, as mini supplied me with freeware alternatives. That's the whole idea of the list.

[minibubba]

that's what I'm good for apparently

I could always get really anal and suggest we mark which ones are open source and which ones are freeware

[Beefy]

mark them green and blue. Go ahead.

[minibubba]

damnit, i didn't think you would agree with it

[Beefy]

Hey, it's a good idea.

[minibubba]

yea, but that means I actually have to do something...

www.Smoothwall.org for good linux based stand alone firewall. It requires old pc to setup, but runs nicely once its up.

Xine http://xinehq.de/

xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available - and some of the most uncommon formats, too.

I agree 100% there... I've got Smoothwall running on a 486DX4/100 with 16MB of RAM and a 210MB HDD, works like a charm, just sits there whirring away
