You won't see 99% of the software I use every day in a store. It's almost all GNU GPL'ed stuff, and there's nothing fishy about it... In fact, for the most part, it's been less buggy than the Mac (and Windows) stuff I used to use. I suppose many people will always tend to believe "if they're giving it away, it must not be any good", but if the software does what you want, and does it well, that's what matters. -- Rob
