Open Disk

About

OpenDisc is a high quality collection of open source software (OSS) for the Microsoft Windows operating system.

The two main goals of the project are:

• To provide a free alternative to costly software, with equal or often better quality equivalents to proprietary, shareware or freeware software for Microsoft Windows.
• To educate users of Linux as an operating system for home, business and educational use.

The majority of programs featured on OpenDisc are also available on Linux.

OpenEducationDisc

The OpenEducationDisc is a modification of the OpenDisc format by Teachers and Computer Specialists with a passion for education. The purpose of it is to provide students with the software that they need to complete school work at home. Most students don't have jobs and it is unfair to ask for them or a parent/guardian to buy expensive software to get the best out of their education. Hence everything is free and we encourage you to make copies of this CD and lend it to you friends.

Programs

Is everything really free?

Yes, all the programs are made by groups of people who don't believe that you should have to pay for computer programs. You can use the disk as many times as you want.

OpenDisc is a large download, so if you'd rather not download it all or make a donation and receive a copy in the mail, you can use this section to peruse and download directly from the individual program websites.

Clicking on an icon here leads you to the official site for that program and away from OpenDisc, so be sure to open links up in new tabs/windows or bookmark us before you leave.
