As a consultant to small businesses trying to get up to speed on Linux, my must-have applications are OpenOffice.org, MySQLAdmin, and Rekall. I'm going to include Knoppix as well; although it isn't an application in the sense of being a single package, I use it as a system recovery tool rather than an operating system.

It's time to integrate open source
graphic applications 02/05/2005 09:47 PM
I've been a graphic artist and Web designer for more than a decade, and in that time, I've seen software companies expend a great deal of effort in attempts to monopolize the market. Adobe, for instance, took over the desktop publishing field early on by developing a set of powerful products, such as Photoshop and Illustrator. Macromedia had to fight to gain control over the Web design and development business, and its hold on Web development became apparent only after it integrated its products. Today, with a remarkable range of Web design and development applications, Macromedia is the indisputable leader of the field. It's time open source graphic application developers did the same.

Business. 01/05/2005 03:13 AM
Small Businesses who want enterprise software such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Project Management, and eLearning have typically been ignored by the software industry. Change is coming, however, and it may be the software makers themselves who end up feeling left out. With abundant and cheap computing power and new feature-rich Open Source Business applications, small businesses can now bypass commercial software altogether. With Managed Application Service providers filling the technological gap, small businesses can digitize key parts of their operations without making large investments in consultants, hardware, or software licensing.
