I was actually looking for something similar for a project I am doing at home. I have scoured the sites people have mentioend so far but I don't think I am getting the answer I need.
I am looking to replace as many components in the a default Windows installation with free (preferably open source) software. If it is cross-compatible between Linux, Windows & Mac, even better. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. If you feel it falls in the OT category then place e-mail off-list. I have replaced some already with some pretty good candidates but the following are still outstanding: * Phone Dialer * Hyper Terminal * Calculator * Character Map: Sprankle? * Clipboard Viewer * Paint: Maybe Tux Paint? * Wordpad: I think Abiword would work, but maybe a bit too bloated? * Object Packager * Games: * CD Player/Sound Recorder/Volume Control: I currently have software that goes with the Creative Labs soundcard. I thought Audacity would work, but might be to big. * Imaging (Image Viewer, Active X Custom Control & Twain Support): No freaking clue where to start looking. * Notepad: Scintilla, Notepad++, JuJuedit. I have used Programmers Notepad in the past and like it. * Shockwave Player: gnash. Has a plugin for FF & Konq I believe, but I wonderred if it would work in IE? * Flash Player: gnash * Media Players: I came across Real & Quicktime Alternative (also includes Media Player Classic) but I am not sure if they are open source Obviously I may not be able to replace all of them, but it would be interesting to see how many can be repalced. Thanks in advance for anyones help.
