Suggested Software
So far so good.. we need more software, so browse around on the net and let us know here if you want anything interesting on the CD-DVD.. We have another day to go
How about MinGW Developer Studio ? Its a suite similar to M$ Visual C++. But its freeware.
Then there is Glade, an interface/window designer for Gnome and Windows. Its awssome to create simple GUI programs using it and it accepts C++, C, Java, Perl and Python bindings.
An EBook with a 400 page 73 mb Student's guide on Ubuntu has been released. Its intresting.
And you have MinGW, Minimalistic GCC for Windows, a tool that intergrates with the command prompt to enable compiling software in windows the *nix way, by doing ./configure + make + make install. Intresting for wannabe programmers, and those who want to compile software like Lame from source code and show it off.
There is this Game called Urban Terror, and it has a zip file download that contains the executables for Linux, Windows as well as Macintosh, and is only 753 mb. Its a freeware based on Quake 3. I am sure you will enjoy it if you like quake 3 and counter strike. It plays like the former, and looks like the later.
You might want to give Fedora Transformation, Vista Transformation Pack and Flykite OSX, which give Windows XP the feel of the top competing OSes. A fun collection that I have.
There is also XML Notepad by microsoft. Its a freeware XML editor. being a small 1.8 mb file, its a novelity to give in the digit CD.
And ofcource, there is Hydrogen. An addictive Drum Machine Software for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux, made using QT3, it can help you create excellent beats and you can download more drum kits to make it sound even better. If you want, I can post a few samples here. As you gave Frets on Fire, its compulsary that this software must be given to compliment it.
Please also think of including the latest betas of Lotus Symphoney, OpenOffice.org 3 and Firefox 3.
