I created a CD that contains Windows versions of many of the
cross-platform programs in K12LTSP.  It's not bootable, but students can
take it home and install OpenOffice, GIMP, Inkscape and several other
open source programs on their home PC.  They can continue their school
work, and also get to see the benefits of open source - freedom to share
and distribute.

An ISO image is available here:

It's slightly out of date.  (Only a couple of months, but open source
moves fast.)  I'll get it updated when I can find the time.
