The Open CD is a FreeSoftware compilation for MicrosoftWindows.

It is a smaller, but more polished collection than GnuWinII, and comes with a much better installer (TheOpenCD has an installer, GnuWinII has a copy of the website).

TheOpenCD contains precompiled binaries and full source for the following programs:

  • OpenOffice.org 1.0.1

  • DictInstall? 0.9.3.2

  • AbiWord 1.0.1
  • Beonex Communicator 0.8.1

  • FileZilla? 2.1.1

  • Putty 0.52
  • WinVNC 3.3.3r9
  • XChat 1.8.10a
  • Audacity 1.0
  • CDex 1.40
  • 7-Zip 2.24

  • NetTime? 2.0b6

  • Win Privacy Tray 0.5.5
  • Sokoban YASC 1.53
  • Celestia 1.2.4

TheOpenCD is an excellent way to gently introduce Windows users to the idea of FreeSoftware. Unlike the GnuWinII project, they will only include software that is easy to install under MicrosoftWindows, well developed, and highly reliable.

TheOpenCD 1.2 has just been released, i won't update the body of this page, but thought i should let you know.
