Want to try different open source software to choose the best? Want to try Linux distributions before moving from Windows? Click2try is the answer to your needs. It’s a community powered web service which hosts many open source applications and software. All you need is compatible browser and latest Java version.

Setting up them both on machine can be headache for novice users. You might also land into glitches and unnecessary complications while doing so. So I dropped that idea for time being. But while surfing the web I encountered Click2Try and bingo, everything was there – I wanted to test – without any hassle and just a click away.
