new
> Open Source Project called TheOpenCD.  Our aim is to create a simple to
use CD
> distribution of Open Source software for Windows, and in that way spread
the
> OSS message. I'm writing to various LUGs to announce the launch of our
first
> edition, and hope that you might find it a useful tool in promoting Linux
and

> The disc allows new users can try out Open Source software (OSS) in the
comfort

drastic

collection,

for

appeal

vehicle by

> We invite all OSS enthusiasts to download the ISO, burn CDs and distribute
them
> widely to friends, local schools, universities, and companies.  We
further
