ral Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Found an interesting project. Its a Windows CD with the following applications: Office & Design: OpenOffice.org, AbiWord, PDFCreator, GIMP Internet & Communication Mozilla, Miranda IM, FileZilla, TightVNC, WinHTTrack, PuTTY Multimedia & Games Audacity, CDex, Tux Paint, Crack Attack!, Sokoban YASC, Neverball, Celestia, Really Slick Screensavers Utilities & Other 7-Zip, SciTE, WinPT, NetTime One step closer to getting people to move to Linux. Wean them first on apps with Linux versions. :D http://theopencd.sunsite.dk/about.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Very good idea. They are missing Gaim (or amsn) in that list though - MSN Messenger is a big thing to most users and they need to know that there are open-source alternatives. I would also have included Xchat... I agree though - once they are comfortable with the software, the switch is much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 You can nominate programs you want to add to the project. I don't chat or use IM's so I guess a better leave that task to someone who knows these programs well. http://theopencd.sunsite.dk/nomination.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 That's funny, I've just started to give around me some cd-rom of a compilation I've maid yesterday. Well not all free but my main goal for now is to make them switch from IE/Outlook to Mozilla: - Mozilla 1.6 fr - Open Office 1.1.1 fr: it's ready now I think. the compatibility with M$ Office files is very good. The main argument I give is that it can import M$ files and export in .PDF format - java: j2re-1_4_2_04: for Mozilla and open Office - flash plugin: Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19: for Mozilla - ad-aware 6: a very good spyware killer (free for personal use) - Antivir: a very good virus killer (free for personal use) - Acrobat Reader - md5sum: a Win app to check md5 sum - and several scanners against different virus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
