This is for tracking the best free software I have found. The amount of excellent free software is staggering and the growth seems to be accelerating. In order to try and make it manageable I've organized this into a book with a taxonomy that lets you see it as a list. The software is divided by category in the child pages listed below. The idea behind this categorization is to answer the question "what is the best free software for ...".
In order to make it browsable the categorization starts at a very high-level (Desktop, Server, Network, etc.) and gets progressively more detailed. If you are wondering where to start, you most likely want to look at the Desktop related software. If you just want to see all of it in a list, click here.
The software information is kept in a book format. If you are not already looking at the book entry (where you see the sub-pages) then click here to access the book.
If you know of really good free software, leave a comment and let me know about it. Want to participate but don't want to create a new id & password to remember? Use your OpenID!
