But it will also do basic image editing and format conversion. http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/ Other Software: I encourage mac users especially to check a site like VersionTracker for freeware and shareware on a daily basis. http://www.versiontracker.com/ For Windows, try SUMo: http://www.kcsoftwares.com/?sumo Unix Users should use FreshMeat, which is a better choice as it is devoted to OSS and screens its content: http://freshmeat.net/ Games: Some of the best games out there are free: NetHack - the oldest continuously-supported hack and slash game in existance. http://www.nethack.org/ Battle for Wesnoth - very mature and well playtested turn based unit combat system, with several excellent built-in campaigns. http://www.wesnoth.org/ UFO: Alien Invasion - a nice open source implementation of the old XCom series. Still in Beta. http://ufoai.sourceforge.net/ Vega Strike - an open source 1st person space trading and combat simulation. http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/ The above titles are enough to keep you engrossed for hours.
