Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Years before I started my Linux journey, I was an artist. It wasn't until much later that I realized another side of my multifaceted artistic self needed to write words.

INchendio/Getty Images I have a fairly massive collection of vinyl albums to keep track of. I need to be able to add new items, search items, view items, and even -- on rare occasions -- delete items. There are plenty of dedicated apps for that purpose -- the cataloging of vinyl albums -- but I like to use desktop tools I already have installed. One such tool is LibreOffice, the open-source office suite. This free tool includes a powerful database feature that allows you to create databases an

ZDNET I've lost count of how many web browsers I've tested and used over the years. From text-based to the weird and wonderful, I've tried them all. Knowing how many web browsers are available, it never ceases to amaze me that some languish in the shadows of obscurity -- even those that are superior to the ones most people use. I believe that many of those alternative browsers aren't more widely used because most people simply don't know about them. Also: I speed-tested 11 browsers - and the

ZDNET Kindle devices appeal to many people. When everything works, they're great. But Amazon is becoming more and more finicky, both in terms of supported formats and the freedom to manage your own books. Kindle books use their own formats, most of the time with embedded DRM. However, there are oh-so-many ebooks available online, both for purchase and for free, that are not specifically tied to the Kindle ecosystem and your Amazon account. Also: Want free ebooks?
