So anybody who knows a little about computers becomes their friend's and family's de facto sys admin. Or at least the goto gal/guy when they have a computer panic. Here is a very useful site for one page selection of all of those open source / free software packages that everyone uses.
You go to this website select the software you want to install, click get installer & you're off. You can even tell people to do this over the phone fairly easily. It seems to clean out most irritating toolbar addons and it automates the installs so yer granny can do it too!

What puts them higher on my list of great sites is the fact that they also have a linux version

Thanks to Brian @ Central Microsystems for pointing this out to me.
