• On-line help and explanations for GNUWin

  To help you discover the fascinating world of free software and Open Source, we ourselves wrote a few texts, notably a F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions) that should answer the first questions of most new users. If a particular term sounds unfamiliar to you, the glossary might be a great help. Furthermore, technical words found within the texts are links that lead to the respective glossary entry; you can thus simply click on a particular word if you want an explanation of its meaning.

  Do not hesitate to read through the glossary, F.A.Q. and articles at will.

We hope that these software will be both helpfull and enjoyable to use, and we wish you a pleasant journey in the world of free software !
