Arrow Free Linux Software List
I am trying to find whatever free software I can for Linux. Here are some that I have found, please list anything that you know of.

-NVU - A great free web developer
-Blender 3D - Open Source 3D modelling, rendering, and animation suite
-Wine - Runs windows executables on Linux
-GIMP - Open Source image editor (GNU Image Manipulation Program)
-VLC - Open Source video player

That's all for now!

You forgot a pair of things right away besides the various distributions both live and installed to hard disk. Those would the cfdisk and GParted drive partitioning and formatting tools.

Yea, Mandrake is supposed to be the best Linux out and even though it is free on the site for it, it says Buy a Disc with it on it or Download Free, but finding the Download section is like trying to figure out what word a 32 lettered hexidecimal sequence means.
