| | | Generally speaking, anything that already runs on *nix platforms will run on Macs. Firefox and Thunderbird will ( http://www.mozilla.org). Gaim (instant messaging clone that supports all protocols) should run if you compile from source. ( http://gaim.sf.net) The same should be true of XMMS (Winamp clone available from http://xmms.org) Other software that are fairly popular on *nix systems are as follows. Most of them should work on Mac OS X if you compile from source. Open Office ( http://www.openoffice.org) This has a Mac OS X native install already, no compilation needed. It's a very nice MS Office clone. Xine ( http://xine.sf.net) A very nice movie playing software. Can be a real pain though to get encrypted DVD's working. You would have to attempt compile from source on this one. I think that pretty much covers normal client software. Of course there's always the server packages, Apache, Samba, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SSH, Bind, Sendmail, etc. What types of other software might you be looking for?
