I think the title says it all. I’ve recently gone Mac and I’m looking for some good Freeware to pile onto this baby. 🙂

Thanks for the help. 🙂

Be sure to wander [tucows.com](http://tucows.com) and [download.com](http://download.com) aimlessly.

Thanks, haven’t been to [tucows.com](http://tucows.com) in so long that I’d forgotten about it.

And I’m running OS-X with X11.

The Mac forums over at Ars Technica have a great list [here.](http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=8300945231&m=1440917775)

And since you’re new to the Mac world, you definitely want to keep [VersionTracker](http://www.versiontracker.com/) in your bookmarks collection – it’s the first place to look whenever you need to find a program to do some obsucre (and not-so-obscure) task.
