    I just installed Stumble Upon into FF and found this great site:
    http://www.opensourcemac.org/
    It is a listing of free open source OS X software. I am not sure if it has been mentioned before, but if not her you go!

    Hmm...SeaShore looks pretty interesting. According to that page, its based on GIMP but doesn't need X11.

    Great list.

    Everybody should run monolingual. I'm running it right now, and so far I've recovered around 3 GB of space! Just from extra language packages laying around that I'll never use! Amazing
