Perfect Open Source Project Management on a Linux Box with OpenProj

While setting up a list of useful open source applications for my Linux laptop I found a very advanced project management solution provided by Projity incorporating both, a web-based project-on-demand service (SaaS) and an open source desktop alternative to MS Project. The latest version requires Java (JRE) and is available as .deb, .rpm or platform-independent source at Sourceforge.net.

'OpenProj shares the industry's most advanced scheduling engine with Project-ON-Demand and has Gantt Charts, Network Diagrams (PERT Charts), WBS and RBS charts, Earned Value costing and more.'

Being familiar with MS Project it's easy to switch. Just create a work breakdown structure, add time and dependencies, OpenProj will construct a project model applying CPM ready to prioritize activities for the effective management of project completion.

Probably the best solution I've ever seen, just got used to it.
