Where can I find alternatives to...?
LinuxAlt - The Linux Alternative Project
From the website:
My goal is to provide an informational website available to all linux users. The website is currently in beta form and I will periodically update the database with Windows software and the Linux equivalents and alternatives.
The site has a very lengthy list of Windows programs and their Linux alternatives. The website is apparently still under active development.
osalt - open source as alternative
From website:
Our mission is to provide easy access to high quality open source alternatives to well-known commercial products. And remember that open source software is also a freeware alternative.
Just like the other sites suggested it gives alternatives to proprietary programs.
