We are happy to announce the launch of the first edition of TheOpenCD, a collection of high-quality Open Source Software that runs in Windows. The disc allows new users can try out Open Source software (OSS) in the comfort of their own, familiar operating system, rather than having to take the drastic step of reformatting their hard drive to install
Linux or BSD.
The collection, which includes OpenOffice.org, AbiWord and Beonex is primarily intended for non-technical computer users.
However, we expect that the disc will appeal first to experienced OSS users, who will hopefully find it a useful vehicle by which to introduce OSS to their less computer-savvy friends.
We invite all OSS enthusiasts to
download
the ISO, burn CDs and distribute them widely to friends, local schools, universities, and companies. We further encourage you all to stop by our
forum
to comment, discuss and contribute!
