My friends have fat pipes to the Internet. They have offered to download useful distributions / collections of Free Software. My own plan is to encourage the building up of 'CD Repositories' in Indian cities and towns, that can then help to efficiently share such CDs among those who don't have speedy connections to the Internet.
What I badly need from you is: a set of URLs from where my friends could download the distributions / software collections. Do send in a brief, one-paragraph description of what the site contains, why it is a good distribution, etc. We are also looking out specifically for educational software, Free Software for kids, tools for professionals (e.g. doctors, scientists), Free Software for the Windows platform (to convince those more reluctant to shift over), and also user-friendly distributions. Thank you very much in advance. Let's make Free Software into what it really should be -- an effective mechanism for the transfer of knowledge to the Third World! Your help is needed...
