Wow great list of free software. I’ll definitely have to go through this more thoroughly later. Thanks!

I highly recommend these programs. I use most of them and can’t complain at all.
Thanks a bunch!

What is opinion about Bing? Why don’t you post about it?
June 19th, 2009 at 6:16 am
Hello Fuad, I am still hoping that you will post about Bing!

I get rid of the extra Operating System? Or get it off of partition? The extra system takes up an incredible amount of disk space. The Operating Systems are both Windows XP home edition.

However, as mentioned above, it may be simpler to just format the disk. However, the next step is to remove the reference to the volume in the boot menu.

Firefox is the best. I don’t think ill ever get used to any other browser… including Google Chrome.

any recommendations for an FTP client? Or is that one you can install on firefox the best?
October 2nd, 2009 at 1:03 pm
I use Thunderbird and can’t live without it.
The plugins for Firefox can’t be beat although for portable surfing (when I’m running off a USB drive) I use Opera since it is completely stealth.
Thanks for the link.

You can use Filezilla for FTP Client and DNN as a open source content management system.

I’d like a linux operating system where i could install software in a similar way to windows. I currently have ubuntu where i install software from a program on the system but i’d like to be able to search for software on the internet, download it and then install it.

OpenOffice is something we are toying with currently. We are trying to get all our files in the ‘cloud’ and use only open source software. Thanks for the list!

Open Source was always better

I use Filezilla as my FTP client, but never heard of DNN to manage my content. Thanks for the tip.
I don’t know if this falls within this category, but for business card, flyer, and other business related documents I recommend Microsoft Office Online.

How do the software developers make their software support new operating system without buying the OS license?

I want to put Windows ME operating system on the VMware player. However, I do not have any operating disks. Is there a way to download the operating system for free off of the internet to make it run on the VMware player?

Consider holding lectures to parents with children on how to keep their computers safe, but also clean of problems. A class of two or three might be profitable.

The books and lessons for these are free online if you look in the right places, and the exams would be a few hundred pounds all in for all of them. Also, perhaps look into joining an existing computer repair firm as a rookie for a couple years and get a bit more experience.

You could also send out certificates for a free large session that you set up specially for new people who want to check it out – like an open house…
