First the bad news: LFY in Jan 2004 is priced at Rs 70 (against Rs 50
earlier).
On the other hand, they've come out with a couple of CDs
which seem interesting:
* FreEduc 1.4 www.ofset.org -- the very interesting educational
tools running off a Knoppix-like interface. Check it if you
haven't seen it yet. It worked fine on my PC (after grumbling
and mentioning a few errors). But it took time to run off my
CDrom, using my PC. Waiting for someone (Banduji or Derek) to
help me install it to my harddisk. My daughter loved the
earlier version of FreEduc, which also taught her the rudiments
of playing chess.
* GNOME 2.4 (the latest release of the GNOME desktop),
Allegro, Alsa, CheckInstall, Glib, glibc, GTK,
gtkmin, RAWRITE, SmartBootManager, messengers (Yahoo, MSN),
Blender (3D modelling tool), downloader4X (downloading utility),
VisualWorks (IDE for small talk), Lazarus (IDE for free Pascal),
GIMP (latest release), Apollon, Briquolo, Flwriter, Epiphany,
Gnumeric, Yawk, BomberClone, LSH, Peacock... and a whole lot
of News Clients (MyNewsGroups, Gnus, Tin, KNode, Mahagany,
Knews, Slrn, Sylpheed, Thunderbird, Pan, tr6pro_vikmans.zip
I've not checked any of these s/w though...
Disclosure: I write a column for LFY, but highlighting what's interesting
in its issues is not part of my work, but rather intended to help build
interest in GNU/Linux. FN
