What an extremely cool resource for the n00b.
OpenCD
The OpenCD project aims to introduce users of MS-Windows to the benefits of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). We include only the highest quality programs, which have been carefully tested for stability and which we consider appropriate for a broad audience. We provide a description and screen-shots of each program, so you can get an idea of what it does before installing. All these applications install and un-install cleanly, so you can be comfortable testing them with the knowledge that they will not adversely affect your system.
The current OCD program list:
Office & Design
OpenOffice.org
AbiWord
PDFCreator
GIMP
Internet & Communication
Mozilla
Miranda IM
FileZilla
TightVNC
WinHTTrack
PuTTY

Audacity

Utilities & Other
