Raw image files can be referred as digital negatives, which carry information of images like metadata, camera’s sensor, lens used, etc. So, if you have files or images of NEF formats, then these software will help you to open and view them, and also have some extra features.

'Best' depends on what you're looking for in post-processing software, but a few of the more popular open source packages you could look at using would be: The GIMP with dcraw. The GIMP is the open-source alternative to Photoshop, and has a very deep and sophisticated feature set, with quite a bit more control than you could find in Picasa.
