Carol's Vault: Today’s free files

  • Jason Drohn · 3 years ago
    That eye OS program looks great! I think I am going to try it out on one of my computers! If you ever see anything about good web server applications, that are graphical and support virtual hosting, let me know. I am not very good with a command line, but really need to start running a bigger server out of my office!

    Well,it looks great indeed and i might try it too.
    I am not good either with the cmd unless are the simple windows commands.
    Have you tried googling the server application with graphics?
  • Jason Drohn · 3 years ago
    I tried, but there is just so much inconsistency. All of the programs say that they are graphical, then you install them and it is a tiny fraction of what you expected..

    Which has me thinking.. I have been thinking about starting a wiki for a while now. I have a lot of readers who get into freeware and open source. What do you think about starting a free ware wiki? There are several on the internet now, but none of them are very simple to navigate and most of them just have a listing of the software and there links. We could write reviews and experiences.

    Its just an idea. I am writing a book and I though of putting a wiki up for that too..

    Let me know what you think!

    I am in for reviewing the freeware and open source.
    For a while there i've been thinking about that.(reviewing i mean).
    To be more exact,i have tested almost all from my freeware page+today's files page+others that i just installed and didn't put them up.
    So testing and reviewing..i am in.
    Give me an example link of a wiki that you have seen so i get an idea.

    Here are a couple:
    http://freewarewiki.pbwiki.com/
    http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/index.cfm?a=wiki...
    http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/

    This is probably the best looking one but just has links to everything:
    http://freewaretank.pbwiki.com/

    That is really about it for wiki's that offer any sort of decent information about software. I think that we could do something pretty cool! I think it would be awesome to review software and let people know about all the good and bad things about free ware and open source.

    They look very busy and crowded,as design i mean but the idea is good.

    The one you created looks good! I will get mine up and running this afternoon!
  • Carol · 3 years ago
    Well,that one was just a test.
    Let me know when you are ready.You've got my e-mail address or just let me know in here.
