Anyone use some good open source software?

The two that I use the most are Inkscape, for vector drawing, and Gimp, for other graphic design.

How about you?  Do you use any good open source software?

Well, of course, Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird are open source. I use them extensively.

Linux Mint is open source and that's my OS. That's open source.

Libre Office

Audacity for editing music.

And at work, SpamAssassin is open source, perl, sendmail, mimedefang.

I like K3B for burning DVD's and ISO images.

You might take a look at http://www.osalt.com/ for suggestions of other open source titles that are popular.

Tons.

Most of the developer tools that I use are open source, and good deal of the libraries and utilities used in my software is open source.
