Re: [LUG] Open Source CDs

[Paul Sutton <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

There is the GNUWinII cd and The open cd,  which both contain various 
packages,  I have the open cd here, but I lent a copy of GNUWinII to a 
friend,

Both are very good, even though they are desiged as a showcase for 
windows OSS software,

I know that The Opencd has games and TUXPaint, on the cd, which is great 
for young children.  It also has celestria which is a space / astronomy 
package, BlenderCD

Bear in mind that open office.org 1.1.4 + docs will take up quite a bit 
of space on a cdrom,  esp if you want Mac, Linux and Windows versions.

http://theopencd.sunsite.dk/

http://www.gnuwin.org/index.html - this seems to be in german even if I 
click on the english link

Anyway If your comming on thursday then I will have a copy of the cd, 
if anyone has GNUWinII could they bring it along please.

I think if you can produce a cdrom with stuff on thats up to date, I 
know the opencd also has things like putty, so yeah there are projects 
out there, but I agree that any cd should be aimed at all users not just 
windows users.

Hope this helps

Paul
