VinniePaz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Great list, I already know about 3/4 of them, but still some great programs for anyone new to mac.

lazylegs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A more comprehensive list of open-source software for Mac OS X is available at http://nothickmanuals.info/doku.php?id=opensourcemac
faentur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i'm using many of them now. It is a really cool list. I use some apps that did not make the list, but every user has his/her preferences. Good resource for new users (not like they would see it here anyways) :)

OpenOffice 2.0 requires X11 to run, so its not exactly native yet. They're workin' on it though.

Enigma724, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Son of a bitch. Thats what I like to see!!
GhengisKhan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1One of the most useful posts I've seen here. Thanks jesse.
laraksca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not sure if you can classify Acquisition as open-source. I happen to like it and have paid for it in it's infancy.

Don't forget to contribute to the projects you use a lot.

Also there is a very nice Bank Finance app named JGnash. It's Java based but I prefer it's abilities. Also has a server app for multi-user access to one account.

Trjn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Kudos to Quicksilver. Hell, I do not even use spotlight"

I used to run it when I first got my iBook, but when 10.4 came out, I went for spotlight instead because Quiksilver is a bit of a resource hog.

And it looks like the digg effect is in place, any alternative ways to view?
