Office & Graphics
OpenOffice.org
3 is the result of over twenty years' software
engineering. Designed from the start as a single piece of software,
it has a consistency other products cannot match. A
completely open development process means that
anyone can report bugs, request new features, or
enhance the software. The result: OpenOffice.org 3
does everything you want your office software to do,
the way you want it to.
OpenOffice.org 3 is easy to learn, and
if you're already using another office software
package, you'll take to OpenOffice.org 3 straight away.
Our world-wide native-language community means that
OpenOffice.org 3 is probably available and supported in your own
language. And if you already have files from another
office package - OpenOffice.org 3 will probably
read them with no difficulty.
Best of all, OpenOffice.org 3 can
be downloaded and used entirely free of any licence
fees. OpenOffice.org 3 is released under the LGPL
licence. This means you may use it for any purpose - domestic,
commercial, educational, public administration. You may
install it on as many computers as you like. You may
make copies and give them away to family, friends,
students, employees - anyone you like.
GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program,
and it is the Linux equivalent of Photoshop. The interface can be
tricky at first, especially if you’re used to Adobe’s efforts but
there’s plenty of guides and documentation to help you on your way.
For those of you who would prefer a more Adobe-like interface from the get-go, then try
GIMPShop, a hack that alters the interface to make GIMP more closely resemble Photoshop.

developer community by using open, community-oriented development.
