About a year ago, I posted requesting information about Free Software based Go servers (http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=9456). While the thread went south in a hurry, it got me thinking about ways to play Go with Free Software in general. I decided to record some of the ways I use Free Software to play Go and posted it on my site: http://sfw.libernil.net/view/playing-go-with-free-software

A lot of the information may be redundant for L19 users. I imagine it's a better intro for new players than seasoned pros. If it's easier to read or better for the forums, I can copy the information to this thread and re-format it for the board.

I hope someone finds it useful!

Being a big supporter of free software myself, I liked your review very much. What I lack most with qgo when connecting to tygem and wbaduk are the automatch features though (available with igs).
