[wplug] Mac version of The Open CD

[Tej Shah]

1.  X11 (you really should add it in since many people will not have it 
installed and it is required for Gimp and Open Office) 
[http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html or maybe 
steal it from install CD?]
2. Frozen-bubble (fun game for non-techies) 
[http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~frenn/frozen-bubble-macosx/]
3. Nvu (good Dreamweaver alternative) [http://www.nvu.com/]
4. Camino (faster and prettier than Firefox) [http://www.caminobrowser.org/]
5. NeoOffice (Much better than OpenOffice if they want to keep the look 
and feel and doesn't require X11) [http://www.neooffice.org/]
6. VLC (can play a TON of formats and way better than quicktime) 
[http://www.videolan.org/vlc/]

Those are just a few ideas. I doubt you can fit all of them in but I 
leave it up to you which to put in the CD.

PS: I am right now porting a ton of KDE applications to the Mac 
(including Quanta, KOffice and KTorrent). I might take another week for 
me to get it done. Tell me if you want the binaries ;)
