UbuntuOhio Getting Cd's to Libraries

[Michael Price]

The Cd's you order from Shipit are live Cd's and the programs you can
install off of the CD in Window's are Firefox, Thunderbird, Abiword,
Blender and Clam-win. At least this is what shows up on a Feisty Fawn
Live Cd. I don't have any Gutsy Cd's to check if they added or removed
any programs that you can install in Windows.
