The best collection of free software

The OpenCD project was set up to provide a huge collection of free Windows Open Source applications and games in a single downloadable ISO file or CD. It was a great idea but updates were a bit slow coming. OpenDisc is a follow-on project with a similar objective, but it aspires to be more up-to-date and responsive to user needs. The early signs look encouraging, with an impressive download package [1] and a reasonably active blog and forum [2]. This is an extraordinary collection of software containing everything you could want to fully set up your PC. Do note, though, that the ISO download [3] is 555MB. Thanks to subscriber Patrick McCarty for letting me know about OpenDisc.
