Freeware is a term used for computer software that may be used legally without paying for it. Even this definition is extremely broad. The freeware I list on my site must not contain spyware or other types of malware and must not be a time limited demo.
Illegal use of commercial software is unnecessary because of the large amount of high quality freeware available. Sometimes freeware can be better than the commercial software it was made to replace. I figure that most people are unaware that most of these freeware programs even exist and so I am trying to promote them on my website. Think about it this way - if the FBI were to raid your house, how many years in prison would you get for having pirated software on your computer? Hopefully my site will allow you to reduce, if not completely eliminate, your prison term. :P
My system was working perfectly and I upgraded my system with apt. The next time I started up my computer, X complained that it failed to load the module

Regnum Online is a free to play MMORPG that is developed in Argentina for Windows and also has an official Linux client. It is somewhat similar to Guild Wars. Check it out, as it is one of the best free MMORPGs I have played. |

I think Google Maps was one of the first killer web apps. It was probably the first AJAX application I ran into. I spent countless hours just looking at the world from a new perspective. Google then released Google Earth, which gave me more ways to view and interact with the satellite imagery. Google has also released an API for Google Maps, which allowed others to use their imaginations to create new and useful derivatives. Here are just a few of the cool ones…

Is it possible for Linux to win in the fight for desktop users against Microsoft Windows? Is it possible for Microsoft to stay competitive against another operating system that is available for free when it has spent over $6 billion dollars to make Vista? |

I finally got tired of trying to get my ATI Radeon 9000 Pro to work properly with Linux. I had to jump through hoops to get Google Earth to work, I had to turn of stars in Celestia with gconf-editor to prevent it from crashing, Neverwinter Nights would crash at random, and I had problems with certain color-depth / resolution combinations. |

Ever since I upgraded to my desktop to Debian Linux I have not been able to run Google Earth. It would freeze on the splash screen and never open the main interface. I used Google Earth on Debian before, so I knew it was just a problem with my machine. As it turns out, it was the new ATI fglrx drivers that were preventing it from running properly.
Apparently, all versions of ATI’s proprietary Linux (fglrx) drivers version 2.28 and newer will not work for Google Earth (at least on some systems). So here is how to get Google Earth working again: |

The real question that is being asked here is how much can someone change Firefox and still be able to call it Firefox. But before anyone takes this article the wrong way, let me clear up a few things. I love Firefox. I respect the fact that they wish to have quality control over the product that bears the Firefox brand. I will continue to recommend Firefox to Microsoft Windows users without any reservations. However, I trust Debian far more than the Firefox crew to package and configure Firefox/Iceweasel in a way that meets the standards of my Debian system. |

My D-Link router died and I bought a Linksys WRT54g thinking I could put Linux on it. Unfortunately, I should have checked a little more before I bought it because I got a v5, which has half of the RAM and flash memory and is not compatible with most 3rd party firmwares. I also found out that I could not forward packets to the broadcast address, which is exactly what I needed to do to get Wake-on-LAN working. |

I have seen many, many discussions about how Linux is faster than MS Windows, or how Gentoo is faster than Arch is faster than Debian is faster than SUSE. Faster? Will I really notice a few milliseconds? Will my hardware have the same speed boosts as these other people are claiming? Will some things be faster while other things get slower? The answer is yes/no/maybe. I can definitely say that Debian IS faster than Windows 2000 on the same hardware. I can also extrapolate that since Windows XP is just 2000 with some added features (bloat), that Debian is also faster than Windows XP. |

One of Debian’s greatest strengths is the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG). Among other things, it says that software must be free to redistribute in both binary and source code forms, and that people can freely make and distribute derivative programs from it. While this is one of the principal ideas of both Debian and the open source community, it does not help you if you want to watch a DVD on you computer. |
