Quickly Install Open Source Software

WizardFirstPage.png

Here is two great pieces of software to make sure that you are getting the best open source replacement software you can get your hands on. WinLibre (for Windows) and MacLibre (for the Mac) allow you to install and update some of the best open source software available for the two platforms. This is great if you are setting up a fresh system and want to grab all of the cool apps that you need like Firefox or Thunderbird. You can also run the application periodically to check for any updates or to install newer versions of the software you already have installed.

Both applications are free and available for their respective operating systems.

    this sounds great/looks good on paper but the software selection does not meet my needs for spyware protection or AVG, it would be nice if we could add apps to the list
