Darn.

I just read the "Free software/open source software in a Win32 environment" article by Alleluia and I liked the idea. And I wanted to post my comments on the article and perhaps some suggestions to OpenCD.

But since I'm still an Observer, I can't post comments or replies to articles, so I'll post it here, and hope someone read it.

I liked the idea. Really. A "free-as-beer" CD loaded with "free-as-speech" software sounds like a good, short-range weapon against proprietary software. As said, developers, hackers, techies can find open source software to their needs, browsing the web or even scratching some personal itch. Regular, computer-illiterate users, most of the time, can't. A CD with good quality, useful, stable software would be a good thing, it would make easier to reg-users to find good software that fit their needs.

I would like to suggest some other softwares to be included in the CD, like PostGreSQL (alongside with MySQL), because is a good db. Bluefish is a good, WYSIWYG, HTML editor, that should be included.
