Oh, and I need to blog about this too! Jordy, our Small Business Portfolio Manager and the President of the Utah Valley Linux Users Group, is also on the team that just released a new product called Software for Starving Students.

Here’s a description from their homepage:

The Software for Starving Students CD enhances the Windows and Mac desktop computing experiences by providing an easy way to install free, high-quality software titles via a user-friendly interface. It includes popular open source programs like Firefox and OpenOffice, intended to help students learn about and benefit from open source and free software programs. The SSS team put all the most commonly used free programs onto one CD to make it easier for students to install useful software (including fully-featured office suites, 3D graphic editors and much more) for free. To preview the new SSS interface, check out some screenshots of the latest release.

I’ve tried this thing out and it’s awesome! They did a really good job of putting this together and it’s one of the cooler installers I’ve seen. I passed out several CDs at the OSS Summit that I went to this week. Check it out! (it’s all free by the way)
