A Day in Paradise

TheOpenCD

I remember these guys when they first started. Mike and I participated in their forums and mailing list for a while… I thought it had petered out when there was no movement on the mailing list (other then the occasional “my software is better then your software” sqabble).

But it looks like they are actually producing a interesting CD. I’m in the process of downloading it. I use just about all of the programs already. ‘Cept Open Office, ’tis a bit of a beast.

I actaully used StarOffice 5 years and years ago… that was fun!!!

Anyway, if I get around to burning the ISO and cranking it up I’ll let you know how it feels.

Ohhhhh, now with IE 6 SP1 by default OE blocks any attachment that could carry a virus, like .pgp and .txt files. 2 minutes of clickety clicking fixed it. It’s under options/security.

Maybe that’s what they meant when they said that they were focusing on security. Lets just make our software more difficult to use!

Woohoo!
