FOSS
I was talking to my brother-in-law, Jamie, the other day about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). It got me to thinking about how much FOSS I use on a regular basis. Here is a list of all the software I have come into contact with recently. If you realize I am forgetting something, please leave a comment.

Don't you run open source firmware on your Linksys router?
Yes! I was not even thinking about my router at the time I wrote this up. It is added to the list now.
What's different in the Tomato firmware from the DD-WRT open source project? I switched to DD-WRT a couple of months back and love it. I couldn't stand the lack of features in the Linksys version.
