TTCS OSSWIN CD

A collection of nearly 100 free/open source software applications

Paul Rowlingson, vnunet.com 23 Feb 2006

This download is a collection of free and open source software bundled together by the Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society and made available as a .ISO file.

Offering the software as a .ISO file is a great idea, as it is basically an image of a CD. Once downloaded, this image can be burnt to a CD for full access to the software.

The included software is extremely varied and probably contains enough free stuff for the majority of your day-to-day needs. The software is split into the following categories: Desktop Applications, Educational, Games, Graphics, Internet, Server, Sound & Video and Utilities.

Much of the software is small and relatively unknown outside open source circles, but some of the more familiar programs included are OpenOffice, 7-Zip, Celestia, Paint.NET, Mozilla Firefox, NVU, Audacity, VirtualDub, FolderSize and TaskSwitchXP.

A comprehensive list of the software included on the CD can be found by clicking here.

Clicking the download link will take you to a webpage, where you are given the choice between a torrent, or a number of mirror hosts. Downloading the torrent is the best option, but you will need a program capable of handling torrents such as BitTorrent or ABC.
