About FreedomSampler™

FreedomSampler™ is a line of products created by Twisted Lincoln, Inc.™ that are essentially compilations of Free Software. The intention behind FreedomSampler™ is to promote Free Software through the active redistribution of alternatives to existing products.

Unfortunately, most people who use Free Software do not make an active effort to promote it. There are many reasons for this, but one of the most commonly cited reasons is the lack of a unified movement supporting it. Newcomers to the Free Software world often complain about there being "too many choices." As a result, they find it easier to simply continue using their proprietary applications.

FreedomSampler™ is designed specifically to combat this perception. Each application and utility included in a FreedomSampler™ disc is hand chosen to serve as a direct replacement for a commonly utilized proprietary program.

Moreover, a key requirement of the project is portability -- all included applications on a FreedomSampler™ disc have versions available for both Microsoft Windows® and GNU/Linux. This allows for an easier transition for those hoping to move from a proprietary operating system to one based on freedom.
