Free project management s/w?

[TUS 373]

As per the title, I have been asked to ascertain whether there is any free/shareware out there that is half decent and easy to use for project management planning. We already have MS Project 2003 but at several £00s per copy, it is rather expensive for the number of users we have.

Can anyone suggest a good value alternative please?
