Go to page: 1 2
In our continuing exploration of the open source universe, we will in this piece explore ten open source applications that you have likely never heard of. Some are cross platform, some designed for server use and others still, for Linux.
1) Gutenprint At one time known as GIMPPrint, Gutenprint has become an important piece of the printing puzzle for GIMP users looking to print off their created or edited work.
Providing printer support for most common printers, this GIMP plugin has become indispensable for people who have successfully made the switch from Photoshop to GIMP completely. For most of these individuals, the missing print ability of GIMP was a show stopper -- thankfully this plugin solves that issue.
As more users express a strong interest in taking control over their firewall policies, having the ability to create their own firewall has become a very attractive proposition.

Openads provides support for:
Back on the desktop front, Windows user have long enjoyed a little known notepad alternative aptly called "Notepad++". Designed with everything basic found in the Windows-provided notepad application, Notepad++ also provides a decent WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) option for presenting code in different colors. From there, you have bookmarking, multiple document view, Macro recording, plus a whole lot more.
