AbiWord is a good open source word processor that is available for both
Linux and Windows. Not quite as MS-Ofiice-like as OpenOffice.
Check out the Open CD project at http://theopencd.sunsite.dk/. Lots of
open source software that runs on both Linux and Windows. You can burn
these and send them home with all your students (and teachers!)
