LinuxCenter wants to help users not to steal

LinuxCenter presented the first CD with free software within the framework of the Free Software for Education, Science, Culture and Communication project. With the help of this collection of programs, its creators expect to help Windows users become more law-abiding.

The following programs are offered as free alternatives:

• Nvu & KompoZer (HTML editor)
• GIMP (Graphic Editor),
• FileZilla (FTP client),
• Gaim (messenger),
• Mozilla Firefox
• Mozilla Thunderbird,
• Audacity (audio editor),
• VLC Media Player (media player),
• AbiWord (word processor),
• Mozilla Sunbird (calendar),
• OpenOffice.org,
• 7-Zip (archiver),
• Infra Recorder.

The collection is available for free download from the server LinuxCenter ( iso ), and can also be sent by mail for 115 rubles. In the future, the project assumes replication of the next version of the collection and its free distribution throughout the Russian institutions of education, science, culture and communication.
