10 Open Source Programs/Softwares

Hello there,
Well, nowadays, we cant escape the fact that if not all, most of us at least have used open source programs/programs. It doesn't matter what we do, be it photo editing or checking email, for computer nerds and geeks, there is at least 1 open source software installed or running in their system. Below, i have listed top 10 open source software in the year of 2011.

1. Firefox: Firefox is the top browser running on all the system/PC developed by the company Mozilla. Talking about Firefox, they are open-source and free, so they can be easily distributed to anyone by any means. The biggest feature about this browser is they have the biggest team of developer making it large. It has Add-ons facilities making it more flexible.
2. Thunderbird: Thunderbird is a mail client software which runs on every PC/system making it cross-platform.
3. Filezilla: Filezilla is the best open-source FTP client software which is used world wide.
4. Pidgin: Pidgin is the IM software enabling most of all the Social Chatting.
5. Geany: Geany is the open-source editor, which can be used to write a normal text document to a large projects for coding.
6. GIMP: GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a freely distributed piece of software suitable for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition, and image authoring. It is a powerful piece of software with capabilities not found in any other free software product.
7. Tomboy:Tomboy is a free and open-source desktop note taking application written for Unix-like (including Mac OS X) and Microsoft Windows operating systems. Much like Sticky Notes in Windows 7.
8. VLC: VLC Media Player is a long-time open-source favorite, and the latest version is also the first to be out of beta development. It's not the only option for free video playback, but it is undoubtedly one of the best.
9. Code::Blocks IDE: is a free and open source, cross-platform IDE which supports multiple compilers including GCC and MSVC. It is developed in C++ using wxWidgets as the GUI toolkit.  Currently, Code::Blocks is oriented towards C and C++. Very well liked by programmers.
10. Libre Office: is a free software office suite developed by The Document Foundation as a fork of OpenOffice.org. It is compatible with other major office suites, including Microsoft Office, and available on a variety of platforms. After a long success of open office, Libre Office seems to have a bright future ahead.

There are obviously more softwares and programs that are available on the Internet which we can get, but then again, this is only an opinion. There are also people who would prefer OpenOffice.org, Assault Cube, NetBeans, empathy and more. Well, as i said, this is only an opinion.
Just to share, I do enjoy Ubuntu as operating system.

We, shall all enjoy the freedom.
