Thank you, Shaun, for the great link. This is going straight to my bookmarks and might especially come in handy for whenever a new Mac user or switcher needs some pointers to established open-source software for Mac OS X.

However, here is another great site that links to free Mac OS X applications - and they even have an RSS feed as they are constantly adding new applications: FreeMacWare. Enjoy :-)

    X-Chat Aqua is another great open source IRC client for MacOS X: http://xchataqua.sourceforge.net/

            I'm glad everyone enjoyed the link. I found it quite useful myself. I think it's important to support the Open Source community on the Mac. Thanks for the comments!
