Comment posted on 69 Free or Open Source Tools For Students by Christine

Great list that includes a nice variety of things they will need. I think remember the milk are making a charge for the iPhone application which isn’t very friendly and Google are now stopping support for the video.I will show some of these alternatives to my students, and glad you included mac as well!

   A great tool for producing good looking papers and essays is LaTeX (http://latex-project.org).

   An editor for windows that is easy to use is TexnicCenter (http://texniccenter.org) which uses MikTeX to do the TeX processing.

   For Macs I’d recommend TextMate for editing and Gedit with latex-plugin for Linux.

   It’s not as easy to use as office suites, but it provides a much better result in my opinion.

   Excellent article. These are all indispensable tools that even professors can use. I would also recommend a great tool I use from eTagLive.com it’s a browser extension that lets you capture snippets of information on any website (text, images, videos) so that you can review or cite them later on, it’s a great research tool.

    I love this list, ever since I found it I have been on and off t5his page going through it and downloaded most of these packages. I really don’t know how to thank the guys that develop these packages (except to make a donation) and the guys who wrote this page.

    Thanks so very much!

    A few things from Google are missing – Google Docs has presentations (alternative to PowerPoint) and Google Blogger for blogging.
