I've been doing a lot of reading and exploring on the internet tonight. I stumbled upon a great article on Tech Source From Bohol - "Free/Open-source Genealogy Software".
They review the following programs:
They all look great and I will have to take them for a spin. The only one I am familiar with and can highly recommend it PhpGedView. Creator John Finlay gave a presentation to the Utah Valley PAF Users Group this past October on it. (He is working on having it sync with New FamilySearch.) I would really like to use this PHP-based web application. After John's presentation we decided to have him teach a series of classes during our break-out session on how to get it up and running. I have yet to watch the DVDs of the class but it is on my to-do list!
If you are interested in purchasing copies of the DVDs the UVPAFUG sells them to members only for $3.00 a piece, plus shipping. You can become a member of our non-profit organization for as little as $10.00 a year with an electronic membership. For further information visit our website at: http://uvpafug.org
See ya tomorrow, for tomorrow is always another genealogy!

I can't say enough about PHPGedview. I have been using it now for about 5 months and absolutely love it!! I have in fact completely stopped using any other programs (PAF, Rootsmagic) in favor of it.
I've used it as well and while good, I've moved on to TNG. While I had to pay for it, the $30 was well worth it! Also, the support is superior when compared to PHPGedview.
