Progressively, the VideoLAN team created a very famous program called VLC (VideoLAN Client). I am not currently developping VLC, but some of my friends do, and I support this project as I can (helping with servers' administration, for example). 38 2      Debian Debian GNU/Linux is one of the most used GNU/Linux distributions in the world. Very stable, well designed, quite easy to use, this is my first choice for my servers: when I want to host a very important project for me, I do it with Debian GNU/Linux. 45 3      Formation Debian The "Formation Debian" is a quite famous website, initially created by Alexis Delattre, a member of VIA Centrale Réseaux. It is a very good training program in French for those who want to learn how to use GNU/Linux, and more specifically Debian. Indeed, I started using GNU/Linux thanks to this fantastic document. 62 4      Ubuntu Ubuntu is another GNU/Linux distribution, derived from the unstable version of Debian. It is actually very user friendly, and I think it is the best alternative to Microsft Windows and Mac OS X for those who want to use free software, without having to use the command-line all the time. Ubuntu is my first choice for a Desktop use of a PC. 43 5      Joomla! Joomla! is a fantastic CMS (Content Management System) if you want to easily create websites. Powerful and flexible, it might be a little bit difficult for the beginner, but once you have understood the architecture of a Joomla! website, you will be able to do whatever you want! For example, this website is based on Joomla! 46 6      CAcert CAcert is a free Certification Authority which purpose is to provide free digital certificates. I do like this idea very much, and I support CAcert by using CAcert signed SSL certificates. 47 7      FOSDEM The FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Software Developpers' European Meeting) is a great european meeting about free software and new technologies. 64
