“Since 2006, Datamation has put together at least 15
different lists of open source software, for file sharing,
enterprises, small businesses, windows users, netbooks, security
professionals, and others. (And check out the hot new open source
list from late 2009). For this list of open source downloads, we
revisited all those applications that we’ve featured before, culled
out the projects that are no longer active (or no longer open
source), made updates, and organized them alphabetically in
categories.

“Of course, with so many open source apps, they aren’t all of
equal quality. But they’re all at least worth a look, and many of
the older apps have improved. So if you’re looking for open source
software of nearly any type, we bet you’ll find at least a couple
of possibilities on our “Monster List.”
