Another interesting source of open source software for Windows is www.theopendisc.com . There are two discs, the OpenDisc (requires a DVD as it is 830MB) and the OpenEducationDisc (fits on a CD-ROM). Much of the content overlaps. The OpenDisc has Mozilla Sea Monkey and some games on it. The OpenEducationDisc has some additional education software and

I would disagree about the "cookie cutter" look and feel for open-source CMS. If you use the tool's default templates of course it will look similar to all the other sites that also use those templates. I'm not a Drupal or Joomla proponent. My personal choice for an open source CMS is Plone . That said I agree with Christian_SEO. If all you're

When it comes to defining groupware here is what I used to use as a guideline back in my days as a Notes programmer. (It is skewed a little towards the way Notes worked at the time.)

The thing you need to be careful of is comment spamming. I was running a blog tool on my plone site and I got spammed. It was a "low volume" blog so I would have long stretches were I didn't go back in. One day I received an email from my provider that my service was crashing and rebooting due to overuse of memory. (Its a virtual server setup.)

I haven't tried Chrome yet, but reports that I've heard were less than impressed. True about Safari, but in the beginning Safari was a knock-off of Konqueror the KDE Browser/File Manager. That's the nature of free/open source software development. You start with a project that is most of what you want and extend it how you need. The article

Firefox with: Web Developer Toolbar Firebug Header Spy - provides easy access to page info Colorzilla - Good for stealing color schemes It's All Text - Use a text editor to enter into text areas

I'll agree with stanbrinkerhoff and ask why are you converting an already wired office to wireless? We have wireless setup for laptop users mostly. We use the PCI wireless cards in one of our locations where the placement of the PCs made it inconvenient to connect them to the wired network. I also once setup a wireless network when, in a similar

Thanks for the OpenProj link. I've been looking for something like this.
