100% Free Distros

by Jason Self

In support of Software Freedom Day, I can burn & mail any of the 100% free distros at [1] and send them to local teams (as opposed to promoting Software Freedom Day with a GNU+Linux distro like Ubuntu that doesn't respect freedom.) I am located in the United States, so that's easiest for me, but I'm not necessarily opposed to mailing to other counties. I'm paying for this out of my own pocket so please consider your requests & quantities carefully, as the cost of CDs & shipping can become quite high (i.e., if you can download & burn the .iso yourself please do so.)

K-Meleon is supposed to be one is an extremely fast, customizable, lightweight web browser based on the Mozilla Firefox. We are also using the same. Instead of looking into the codes of Firefox and customizing it it's advisable to use K-Meleon to handle the operations easily. Every thing that can be performed in Firefox can be done with K-Meleon.

Dear Mr. Bruce , Nice to hear about kioracd. We need people like you who energize themselve. Wish you a very good luck. regarding dvdslideshowgui it is a wonderful software under under GPL. So thanks a lot for a new entry int the multimedia section of Swatantra. Any ways we will be producing definitely Swatanntra by 20 August , but if you feel at any point of time you not able to contribute for kioracd then we are there for you as backup.

Sorry, the program I was thinking of is dvdslideshowgui; http://download.videohelp.com/tin2tin/ I'm going to make a serious effort to rebuild kioracd before the end of August, and make it available in enough time to be useful for other SFD groups. My biggest concern is a good disk browser. The 2006 edition was simply done in html and used the default browser in Windows, that's not really a satisfactory way of doing things any more. I'd like to use kiwix but I've been having trouble figuring out how to adapt it.

For those groups expecting a younger crowd (or those who work with youngsters) it may be handy to have a few copies of Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) or the Sugar Live CD handy. For Sugar on a Stick, you could encourage people to bring empty USB sticks or SD cards and "burn" copies on the spot. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Live_CD -- Ubuntu Linux DC LoCo Washington, DC http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/
