Journal Journal: Going Open : MozDex

Journal by papa.coen on Wednesday November 14, 2007 @04:20AM

I'm always looking to expand my open source (or 'plain' free) toolkit. Now I've found the search engine to match: MozDex.com. It's not as big as Google (yet, but who knows) but it claims honest and unbiased search results which is what we all want, isn't it? Well, on my first try I didn't find the thing I was looking for, which was offered to me by Google on the first page. A closer look and some more searching reveals this is (currently) a very crappy search engine with advertising or spam (?)

Inkscape or Sodipodi as an alternative for Illustrator. Scribus (now also for Windows) as an alternative for Indesign/Quark Express. The Gimp or Paint.Net for Photoshop... All (also) have the disadvantage of not being able to use the PMS (Pantone Matching System) since this is not a free 'format'. In my experience, designing using the tools above is ok (Scribus still has some stability issues though) but I've always needed someone (with the 'expensive' (Adobe) tools) to do the color separation and other preprocessing for printing.
