It is by far the closest thing to PT or HEM out there in the open source/free side of things.
It is slightly kludgey, but overall works fine. In fact each version gets better. Not all the features are there, but they are coming.
The coolest thing IMO is the recent default switch to SQLite as the database engine. It is smaller and less obtrusive than Postgresql or Mysql.
HUD part works fairly well too.
I would use it if I could stand playing poker for more than 2 minutes at a time.

I don't know if you use pokerstove, www.pokerstove.com this is a very useful program for determining your equity vs. opponents range

I joined ClubWPT today and they have a freeroll for an actual physical poker calculator. It has buttons like a regular calculator, but it has buttons for 2-10, J, Q, K, and A! I'm going to try to win one just for the novelty aspect.
As far as online tools I use PokerStove constantly to reevaluate interesting hands, and CardPlayer's omaha calculator. Also http://propokertools.com/simulations is a good website, it can simulate showdowns in 6 types of poker games.

fpdb is a long way form either HEM or PT3, but it's the only significant free tracker and has come a long way in the last year or two. It used to be essentially unusable, and didn't have a HUD. At one point I considered joining their development team, but decided I just didn't have the time to commit to it. Especially if I actually wanted time to play poker.
If you can't afford to buy HEM, then go for it. But HEM is a pittance to a serious player and will more than pay for itself in a very short time. So the only real base that fpdb has is with people who don't have the BR to buy something, are so new to tracker software they just want to get their feet wet, need a non-Windows tracker, and/or are passionate about open-source software and would prefer to make do with a less-functional OSS solution instead of a commercial one.

I was able to just install it, import my old hands, and set up the hud to auto import, and it worked fine.
Have you gone thorough the wiki?

It was really pretty much easy as pie for me on the recent install. Older versions were a real doozy.
The two big things are;
Import old hands
Turn on Auto Import (for HUD)
It pretty much works just like HEM.

Hmm, I'm going to try out FPDB when my HEM 15 day trial ends. Looks like the main thing with FPDB is that you have to install about 6 software packages and get them to work together. Not trivial, but shouldn't be too hard either.
Looks like it mainly supports Full Tilt and poker stars - and it has HUDS for both - but I thought I read that Poker Stars does not allow HUDS?

No, Stars has always allowed HUDs. The Cake network and their various skins are the only one I'm aware of that doesn't allow HUDs.
Perhaps you're thinking of sharkscope's or PTR's HUDs, which are not allowed by any of the major sites, because they use stats that you didn't gather during your own play.

major sites like ftp or ps : yes
for other smaller sites : let's hope they can include those in the near future.....

Ive got this running and all but I dont understand this stat:
Is it stud related? Would make more sense with a 4th street c-bet.
First of all a c-bet is usually after the flop, and the 'river' is 5th street and 4th street is the 'turn'

i`M STILL LEARNING THE "ins and outs" so you can use poker stove while your in the game/tournement your in, pertaining to those opponants at your table.Does poker stove show you there range of hands too via past play as well? Or you have to do the old sit and watch method,to determine there range?:withstupi

^^^ While you technically can use PokerStove while playing, that's not what it's for. PokerStove is more of an analytical tool that you would use in between games to review equity against perceived hand ranges, which you can derive from a player's stats. It wouldn't be easy to use in real-time, because it takes time to plug in and tweak values, and digest the result.
