I’m currently conducting an experiment, as I move towards my bid to become a bootstrapping Design-Entrepreneur. I have 2 objectives. The first is to install as little software as possible on my computer and use everything online as I work with many different computer systems. This is mainly with help of the wonderful Google OS suites found here.

The second is with my trusty new second hand Toshiba M200 Tablet PC, I set out to find the best in free/open sourced software for my designing needs.

This page is a list of the software avaliable. Note: Once you start generating revenue, please either buy the full version or donate to their efforts!
