• opensourcealternative.to/photoshop

• opensourcealternative.to/word

Do This!

1. Install Firefox (if you haven't already done so).

2. Find replacements for software that you currently use (e.g., install and use OpenOffice.org instead of Microsoft Office).

3. Try out Ubuntu's live CD (no installation necessary!)
