I am putting Software.pdf on my anonymous ftp server for a while at least. This is Chapter 11 of a book and is for personal use and comment, not general distribution. So if you have comments or suggestions to add about software you especially like, let me know. ftp andrsn.stanford.edu/pub/Software.pdf You log in with "ftp" as a username (or "anonymous", but why go to the trouble?) and you e-mail address as a password. This chapter does not explain how to install third-party software available as a package or as a port; it tells you what the software does (my picks, for the most part, but those that seem to be the most popular, too). There are a few hints on how to run the stuff after it's installed, but the basic explanation of that is in Chapters 9 and 10. Software.pdf is in Adobe's portable document format. (It's about 22 pages, but it isn't paginated.) You need Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows or for FreeBSD (/usr/ports/print/acroread4 or one of the others--not sure which ones need Linux support). Acrobat Reader is a free Windows application. Annelise P.S. With close to 4000 software applications, it's not easy to review them--so if I've left out the best ones in some categories, let me know what your choices are. I've concentrated on those of greatest interest to new users--not those that might be of interest to network professions experimenting with FreeBSD, though, and not programming tools or languages--mostly user apps.
