Does anyone know a site which has info on computers that are running on all
freeware programs, I mean everything. Just trying to see if it can be done.

Thanks

How about if I reverse that, and point you toward a list of those few
software categories for which there is no freeware alternative?

Running 100% freeware (excluding MS-Windows itself) is simple enough,
but most people these days get various pieces of non-free software
when they buy their hardware, and wind up running a mix.
