Participate in Sourceforge.net's 2008 Community Choice Awards.

Sourceforge, along with Freshmeat, is a central repository for OpenSource community driven software projects. When installing software on your Linux box, you are better off using the built in software for installation and not downloading stuff from Sourceforge or Freshmeat, until you know what you are doing. But these are great sites to browse and/or search for software you need. Or want.

Here's a few other software related tidbits:

Need a twitter client for your Linux box? Try gTwitter or Twitux.

Open Office templates. Read about 'em here.

Remember Norton Commander? No? That might be a good thing. Well, anyway, in our effort to expand and support the increased use of the Keyboard, I recommend you have a look a this review of BSC, and perhaps have a look at the Beesoft File Manager Site. Happy file managing!

FAR Manager (http://www.farmanager.com/?l=en) rules! I literally never use Windows Explorer because FAR allows me to do _everything_ and it's 100% keyboard friendly. And it's also very fast.
