Software Linux tidak kalah dengan windows

Sering kita merasa ragu untuk pindah ke perangkat lunak  FOSS, karena alasan padanan software yang biasa kita pakai di sistem operasi MS Windows kira-kira ada tidak di Linux?

Ternyata banyak sekali padanan aplikasi tersebut yang bisa kita pilih dan hampir semuanya free, jadi tidak usah takut untuk pindah ke lain hati :)

Berikut ini beberapa padanan aplikasi tersebut yang saya kutip dari situs The Linux Alternative Project, http://www.linuxalt.com/
