FreedomSampler™ contains a variety of Free Software designed to replace common proprietary applications.
The current version of FreedomSampler™ runs only within Microsoft Windows® however all software available on the disc is also available within the GNU/Linux platform. Once you've gotten used to an application from the FreedomSampler™ CD, there's no need to re-learn any skills when you make the move to Linux.
You can download an ISO image [1] of FreedomSampler™ here: FreedomSampler™ Version 1.25 ISO Download [2]
Once you have the ISO image on your system, you'll need to burn it to a CD. Since an ISO image represents the full contents of a disc within one file, you'll need to use your CD burning software's "image burning" functionality, rather than simply coping the single file to a CD. This can typically be found within your software's menu system as "burn disc image" or "burn CD from image," or something similar. If you need assistance in creating your disc, feel free to contact us via the official Twisted Lincoln, Inc. discussion forums [3].
The official disc image contains the custom installer, which provides you with the ability to quickly install all of the programs available in an automated fashion. It also gives you access to the full corresponding source code for all of the software. If you'd rather just grab a single program or source code archive, you can also get them from the chart below.
FreedomSampler™ CDs are also available for purchase, and can be sent directly to your home or office.
