TheOpenCD 2.0
On Slashdot today they announced that TheOpenCD 2.0 has released.
For those who don't know any better, TheOpenCD is a small collection of only the highest quality OSS for Windows (CDex, TB, Fx, Mozilla, gimp, gaim, etc.), easily available on a CD. The programs are carefully selected to ensure stability, ease of use and a clean install and un-install from your computer.
What makes this a more noteworthy post is that this version (2.0) now contains a Launchable Menu with info on all the listings, of which, is based on Gecko (yay!).
I have yet to download the cd, but it looks as if (under windows and with AutoRun enabled) a customized version of gecko (xulrunner perhaps?) launches a window that lists the content.
Pretty cool stuff, you can check out some of the screenshots they have available if your not planning on download it.
