Probably the oldest and most well-known open sourcegraphic application - GNU Image Manipulation Programor Gimp was started in 1995 and has since then grown tothe status it has today. Gimp is a valid competitor to all of the commercial bitmap drawing programs on the market.Among its features you find: powerful painting tools,
layers and channels support, multiple undo/redo, editabletext layers. Gimp as a plug-in architecture and a scriptingengine that allow easy extension of it's functionality.More than a 100 plug-ins and scripts are alreadyavailable. Also Gimp imports files from Photoshop (psd)and can also read scalable vector graphics (svg) files.
Gimpshop Photoshop If you feel at home in Photoshop, but need an opensource alternative - Gimpshop is the way to go.Gimpshop is a hack made on top of the original Gimp project which changes all menues, dialogs, etc., in order
to make them look as much as their counterparts inPhotoshop. This makes users who are already familiar with the layout of Photoshop feel right at home in thisopen source application. Please note that all features inPhotoshop in not available in Gimpshop, since it is basedon the Gimp project and it's feature set.
CinePaint0.23
Photoshop Started as a fork of the Gimp project, the goal is to createa more professional graphical editing application aimed atthe movie industry. One of the major differences fromGimp is that CinePaint support up to 32-bit colors. And inorder to get 32-bits images into CinePaint it supports a

number of professional image formats such as: Cineon,DPX and OpenEXR. The latter of the formats has toolsavailable under an open source license.
PSPP SPSS PSPP is an alternative to SPSS, a program used toanalyze data. PSPP doesn't impose limits on the variablesyou use and you don't have to acquire different versionsin order to access advanced functions. Like SPSS, PSPPcan be used for non-parametric tests, descriptive statisticsand more. It is a fast running package no matter howlarge or small the input data happens to be. You can usethe graphical interface or, if you prefer, syntaxcommands.PSPP's data files and syntax are compatible with SPSSand it supports over a billion variables and cases. You can
operate it with Open Office, Gnumeric and other opensource software you may be using. Like SPSS, it's simpleto import data from other sources such as text files or spreadsheets. You can also export files in portable, systemand ASCII format. No matter what type of computer youhave or which operating system you are using, PSPP islikely to be compatible.
You have a choice of formats for your output andgraphics including PDF, HTML and ASCII. PSPP also produces histograms and a variety of charts to make your results attractive and understandable for presentation.

FreeCAD AutoCAD,SolidWorks
FreeCAD is general purpose CAD (computer aideddrawing) software that targets product design andmechanical engineering. It can be easily used for anyengineering specialty, featuring tools that are modeled to
function like SolidWorks, Solid Edge and Catia. Its mainfocus is dynamic simulation and analyzation.It has a GUI (graphical user interface) based on Qtframework and its 3D viewer allows quick rendering of 3D scenes. It is simple to use and easy to quickly figureout its special functions.
QCADcommunity
Edition
AutoCAD,SolidWorks
QCad Community Edition is an open source edition of RibbonSoft's CAD system. QCad is a 2D CADapplication that aims at being simple enough for anyoneto use - even users with no previous CAD experience.Compared to the Professional edition the Community
Edition has no scripting or poly-line support - alsofeatures are a few months behind. Features include layers,dxf files import and export, many flexible drawing toolsand precise selection tools.
BRL-CAD AutoCAD,SolidWorks
BRL-CAD is an open source cad systems based aroundconstructive solid geometry (csg) modeling. On top of allof it's modeling features, such as the interactive geometryeditor, BRL-CAD offers parallel ray-tracing, path-tracing,image and signal processing tools. The ray-tracing process can even be distribution over a network of

computers. When starting a new model determining anaccurate unit of measurement ensures that your modelswill always have the correct proportions compared to real
world objects. CSG is a fascinating way to work with 3dmodeling and allows you to quickly build rough modelsand can be finalized later with all required details.
Archimedes AutoCAD,SolidWorks
Archimedes is a computer aided design (CAD) solutionfocusing on architectural design. While the currentversion of Archimedes may not be mature enough for all -this project is very promising. It already has many of themost common and advance drawing features you willfind in a commercial CAD solution. However, it'sinteroperability with other products is still lacking. On theother hand drawing can be exported in scalable vector
graphics (SVG) format - allowing you to share finisheddrawings with a wide audience without requiring them toinstall the product.
OpenProj 1.4 MS Project2007
OpenProj is a new open source solution for projectmanagement. It's simple user interface is very similar tothat of Microsoft Project. OpenProj even let's you importyou existing Microsoft Project files directly, so that youcan fast and easily migrate all of you project. Primaverafiles can also be imported.The project plan can be viewed as a gantt charts and italso supports network diagrams (PERT charts), WBS and

Step4: Hardware on which Linux desktop will run. Also need to formulate a plan for the hardware on which Linux desktop will run. Plan to buy new hardware or to utilize what we already have? Can Linux work on the hardware you are currently using? One of the advantages of Linux is that it runs well on older hardware, performing better than Microsoft Windows in this respect. Newer hardware can present challenges with Linux because, to date, there is typically no support "out of the box." However, companies such as
HP, IBM, and Dell are improving their support for Linux.
