Guides to Free and Open-Source Software

The software guides contains a small collection of guides to some of the huge range of free and open-source software we rely upon to get the job done.

Most QL Studio clients, once introduced to these applications, choose to use them to work smarter and to share information more easily.

Google Apps

A now essential freeware application is Google Apps - we have been using it since it's release with our clients, allowing us to communicate and share documents online.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04

Linux is a key element in the QL Studio mix, all our web servers use Linux and we also use Ubuntu Hardy Heron as a happy replacement to Windows or Mac OS.

Skype

We use Skype to chat between offices, with clients and friends because it offers free calls computer to computer using a system known as VOIP - basically using your internet connection to make a phone call.

Cheat Sheet

A list of terminal hacks, short-cuts and time savers we use locally and via SSH to speed up daily tasks.
