[NTLUG:Discuss] Fair Rename

[agoats at compuserve.com]

For windows Open Source, I like
osswin.sourceforge.net

Lots of open source software for Windows and in one place. Makes it 
easier for the windows users to get used to open source. Most of it is 
available in Linux, so it makes conversion from windows to linux easier 
because they will already be using the same software.... heh, heh
