Great Site to find Open Source alternatives

I remember that when I was new to Linux, I used to go internet forums time and again to look for various equivalents to common software which I used to use on Windows.  Now there is a great site for this purpose  http://www.osalt.com/.

One feature which I would like to see on the website, are user-defined ratings, where users can rate a specific software, so that new users can directly use the best open source alternative.

I also think that the website has too much advertisement, even if its Google AdWords. Such a site is a help to the whole community and should be supported via donations.

    If you are looking for another option I run a site called Linux App Finder. It also organizes apps into categories and allow using ratings and reviews.
