Free software on Linux
Why spend money on software when you can get all this for free!
Why download software illegally when there is plenty of open source software just waiting for you to discover it!
This is a demonstration of the software i use on a daily basis without having to pay for it. To counteract the opinion that Linux is difficult to use, i show how easy it is: i have everything i need.
I use Debian Linux with the Gnome interface and Beryl for cute visual effects and the cube of virtual desktops.
Some useful links:

Software for Linux is reliable, easy to use, enjoyable, legal, and free. Enjoy it! If you do need to run any Windows software, you can always run it using Wine, or use VMware to run Windows inside a virtual machine. You can also dual-boot your computer so you have a choice when you start up, whether you want to load Windows or Linux.
NB. I am not sure whether all the software in this demonstration is open source, but it is definitely all available at no cost. I am willing to help anyone who wants to get started using Linux.
