Finding Freeware Listing Sites?

Posted by Cliff on from the finding-the-nearest-mountaintop dept.

A not-so Anonymous Coward asks: "CNET's download.com has become a 'pay to list' service, so it doesn't make sense to list freeware there, anymore. What are the best alternatives? Also, you cannot post linux software there anymore for any price: 'Note: We are no longer accepting any new submissions for Linux, and we will be discontinuing all coverage of Linux on our download sites shortly.' What is the hard working but generous coder supposed to do?"

    Who the heck uses CNET for finding free linux software? Who still calls open source software "freeware"?

    Someone just fell off the turnip truck, I expect.

    HINT: The answer you are looking for is a lot easier to find on slashdot than the "submit a story" link.
