The good folks over at Lifehacker, have published an article on the Linux Equivalent Project. The Linux Equivalent Project is a website that points Linux users to software that that runs on Linux that is equivalent or an alternate to Windows software.

I think this is great because newcomers to Linux do not always know what software will get the job they need to do done. Having a list of reasonable alternatives is a great place to point them to. With things like Ubuntu, that have software installation management that is as easy as point and click, installing these applications after knowing their name is super easy.

I wish I had a list like this when I first started using Linux. It would have been a lifesaver in some cases.
