Thumbs up OpenCD 07.10

The OpenCD is not new and infact this update was released last April. But 1) I missed it and 2) it deserves mentioning for those who dont have it.

Basically it is a free opensource CD download with many worthwhile free programs on it.
The Cd can be downloaded in iso format and then burnt to disc. It has a menu loader with a little description on each of the programs (See the list below).

OpenDisc 07.10 Released

There are five new programs on OpenDisc 07.10, three of which were added due user suggestion; Dia, GnuCash and the ever-popular VLC are now featured, as is the streamlined Sumatra PDF and TrueCrypt.

You can download the ISO directly, and a MD5 checksum is available for those that want to verify the download before burning.
