Those who are non-techs often ask me about computer software and hardware. They wish to know what to buy and what is crap. This post is a list and discussion of what I have at this time. I will update in the future.
Software:
I use two free programs to read books and articles. STDU Viewer and FBReader between them they cover almost anything I might want to read. Formats include: (fb2, cbr, cbz, tcr, pdb, mobi, azw, dcx, bmp, pcx, jpeg, gif, PNemfG, wmf, psd, tiff, pdf, DjVu, xps, JBIG2, wwf, epub, rtf).
GIMP
office software
I use the free and open source LibreOffice.
For the price of Adobe Acrobat and depending on which version I purchased, I could buy two or three 1 terabyte harddrives.
I almost exclusively use the Linux operating system. I currently have a version of Linux called LinuxMint installed.I use It
Security:
