Ten plus fifteen

The 10: Jackson Chung has published part two of his free alternatives to commercial Mac apps. It’s a neat way of looking at freeware, because you can see how much money you’re saving. His list runs the gamut from the obvious (Cyberduck) to the obscure (fruux).

The 15: Best of the Web, meanwhile, claims to have freeware so essential that you should keep them “on a CD or DVD for the next time you do a clean install—they’re that good.” For the most part, I agree that these are all great apps. I’m not so sure about GeekTool, though.
