To help you get started quickly, osalt.com is a website with all the right stuff in one nice place for you.
Thanks Eric!
The site is neatly organized into sections to help you find whatever app you are looking for. The sections are:

When you click on an open source app link, you get to see a product rating as well as the ability to read or post comments on the software. There is also a pull out box that tells you open source alternatives to the app you are looking at. See screenshot below of a.MSN 0.96, an Open Source alternative to MSN messenger.

And for those of you who like to pay, or want to start, there's a convenient little Paypal button you can click.
