OSLiving around the Web

Wired (12/2007) - “Open Source Living lists the most popular open-source applications for a wide variety of tasks — ripping DVDs, browsing the web, chat clients, coding tools, audio players, you name it. OSLiving’s directory is neatly organized and the listings (for the most part) provide clear indications about what operating systems are supported by each of the apps.”

Wired (04/2008) - “I think OSL has the potential to be the sort of friendly resource the community needs.”

Lifehacker - “There are countless arguments for using open source applications, but one of the strongest is having a single interface to learn when working on Windows, Mac or Linux systems. Web site directory Open Source Living helps you find just those kind of programs. It’s not an extensive, all-in-one directory, but it seems to narrow its choices based on quality and widespread acceptance.”

Emily Chang - “There is a world of software that is literally, and legally, free. This is the world of open source software, and Open Source Living is a new resource that puts it all (or at least a lot of it) in one place.”
