lol! they stole my idea..
Though the news is like a few days old now, but got hold of it a lil late. Its about a collection of open source software bundled on a cd and sold online. Its called RaptorHead open source CD for Windows. And whats so great abt this open source compilation ? Its sold at a price tag of $19.99. Wonder who would be willing to buy after paying for it rather than just download it easily from the net.
Bundle OpenOffice.org, TurboCASH, the GIMP, and some installation scripts on a CD. Round out the package with Gaim and Firefox, and sell it in retail stores to Windows users for $20.
Morgan Lim and Steve Edwards thought it made sense, and assembled a select set of open source applications in one easy-to-install package. After seeing demand for their CDs among friends, they founded RaptorHead to bring open source to the masses. Here are my adventures with version 1.0.
