The Open CD is a FreeSoftware compilation for MicrosoftWindows. It is an excellent way to gently introduce Windows users to the idea of FreeSoftware. It is a smaller, but more polished collection than GnuWinII - it comes with an actual installer and only includes software that is easy to install under MicrosoftWindows, well developed, and highly reliable.
TheOpenCD contains precompiled binaries and full source for the following programs:
OSSWatch have been known to give away boxfulls of copies of TheOpenCD.
PhilHarper has been known to do a fair bit of work on TheOpenCD v1.2 and 1.4.
zcat keeps a recent copy of TheOpenCD (as well as KiaoraCD and several other Free Software CD's) at http://zcat.wired.net.nz/files/ - users outside NZ are requested to use the official mirrors.
