I've tried downloading the ISO of Software for Starving Students a year ago and was very much delighted to see a compilation of freeware packaged in one disc though I never got to use it. It's a great help to beginners using the computer and aside from saving money from buying purchased software, this is a very nice medium of introducing apps which are less popular compared to their commercial counterpart but has everything a user needs.
The now defunct Software for Starving Students has now been replaced by OpenDisc. More info can be found at their site. I just took a quick peek at the site. The last update was about three to four months ago. Perhaps the open source community is having a difficulty supporting their initiated products since it is free and has no real actual source of income.
The list of programs available in OpenDisc can be found here. You can download them as a single disc - the compiled version called OpenDisc, or you can download them individually as an application by visiting their own sites.
