Do you have any list of software that you would include for a DVD of

This is one of those "beguilingly simple" questions. Or, to put it
another way, a Pandora's box. <grin> It really depends on what the
organization would need. Desktop-bound or server-based? Productivity,
utility or communication? Anyway, take a look at:
Wikipedia's
<https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Portal:Free_software/Categories>
Free Software Portal has an exhaustive list. "Free," in this context is
F/OSS, btw.
OSALT <http://www.osalt.com/>: their "mission is to provide easy access
to high quality open source alternatives to well-known commercial
products." Generally current & useful.
OSSwin <http://osswin.sourceforge.net/>: a dated project with (mostly)
valid links leading to (mostly) current apps
Tripwire's List
<http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2010/03/20-most-popular-open-source-software-ever-2.html>:
a random, pretty solid pick from some random guy.
Apart from that, the sin qua non is still SourceForge
<http://sourceforge.net/>.
If you want help refining a package, let me know.
