Amazing Open Source Tools

Ever need free solutions to the many problems of computing? Or how about free software that can compete with those expensive corporate versions? Welcome to The Internet, where like minded individuals noticed such a need, and developed tools for the good of humanity and advancement in general. These are known as open source projects, and are completely free to use, distribute, and modify. For starters, there is the wiki of open source, which provides amazing projects for math, finance, speech, data Storage, networking, and even file servers. But the real gold mine of open source is OSINT, or Open Source Intelligence, which can help you locate valuable resources all over the web. But if you only ever try one open source program, it has to be TrueCrypt, the industry standard on freely available encryption. TrueCrypt can encrypt virtual files, hard disk partitions, entire devices, and even allows for real-time encryption of communications. And who said nothing is free nowadays?
