WinOssCdrom

Richard Houston has created a cd-rom of open source software that for Windows that you can download for free. What follows below is from his blog Rich on Linux, OSS and other stuff.

I have produced V1.1 of WinOssCdrom. The software on this ISO is all open source and run on Windows 2K or above.

There are 2 idea behind this cdrom. First is to show an OSS desktop software stack that runs on Windows. The second is to show all this good software that will also run on Linux. A great tool to prepare people for a possible move to Linux. Regardless if you are planning to move to Linux or not it is all good quality and in active development.

I built this cdrom with the following rules in mind, the software had to be free and open source and also had to run on both Windows and Linux. You Apple fans will be happy to know that _some_ of the software titles are also available on the Mac. :)

You can find the bittorrent file at http://www.rlhc.net/downloads/Winosscd-v1.1.iso.torrent

I will be emailing several sites around the net promoting the disk but if you want to let friends know about it, I would appreciate it. Of course you could just download it and burn copies for your friends too. ;)

If you have any thought, comments or ideas for software to include for future version please let me know.

On this disk you will find various open source programs that run on Microsoft Windows 2000/Xp/2003. Some will operate on Windows 98/ME but no guaranties. ;)
