Kccitystar Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 In order to help people out on this forum it would be awesome if people could post up their links to freeware software that could be useful, or alternatives to common software. Example: A common AIM alternative that is free and does not hog as much resources is GAIM A common WINDOWS alternative that is free and does not require much updating would be Ubuntu Linux, lol This would surely be appreciated. -KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronmexico Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Sorry. I don't necessary know the difference. Freeware are programs that are distributed freely, under the GNU. It's not pirating because they are available for download free. You are not screwing any company out of $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
