Open Source CD is a collection of Open Source solutions for your business;

or private use.

Stop Looking! You have found a great resource on having leading applications to use!

What is open source? In essence it is all about freedom. The freedom to use; the freedom to copy and distribute; the freedom to make changes to the core of the system.

Why put these Open Source applications on a CD? When living in South Africa it become very expensive to download Open Source software. You don't know if the software will work; you spend a lot of time on the Internet to download the file and every second it is costing you an arm and a leg due to the high cost of bandwidth! This is one of the main reasons for having it on a CD.

Here are some other great reasons for owning the Open Software CD:

• The software is already saved on the disc; you don't need to download it or to make backups of it!
  
• You can use it as many times as you want on as many computers as you want.
  
• If something had to happen to your computer(s); you will still have these great packages on CD!
• Share the disc with friends; colleagues; whom ever you want; no restrictions!
• The CD autoruns when inserted; with a pre-set browser making installation a breeze
  

The challenge with Open Source software is that you don't know if it is going to work for you or not. Spending the time to look and downloading it can be very time consuming. But what if someone did all the hard work for you? What if someone downloaded the applications; tested it; and made sure it is of good quality? That is precisely what Open Source CD did.
