1 Free Willie Freeware Software Project Tulsa Computer Society www.tcs.org

2 2 Project Objectives Assemble a computer (Luggue3) with vintage components and use Windows XP as an operating system Install only freeware on the computer The Freeware programs will be demoed by the member that recommended it The project will continue until all of the software had been demoed or until the members get bored with the project At the end of the project, a CD or DVD list containing links to the freeware will be distributed to the members who may download what they want Highlighted programs are installed on the Free Willie disk (or should be) Software will be 32-bit

3 3 Free Willie Criteria Software must be free as in free speech AND free beer No spyware / adware / spybots / rootkits / trojans / worms / viruses or other malicious add-ons No demo software No nagware, if possible, but requests for donations are allowed Not programs with crippled in features, if possible Not trial or timed software, if possible No file sharing software such as BitTorrent, eDonkey, LimeWire, etc No raunchy, pornographic, gambling, violent game software No commercial “borrowed-from-friend” software Preferably, the software should be Open Source, including that ported from Linux

4 4 Warnings and disclaimers The TCS does not produce a CD or DVD or Freeware any longer because the software changed too often. Some of these programs perform better than others and all software listed is subject to change. This list is not an endorsement of any software by the TCS. Some links may be broken. Use an anti-malware program to scan all downloaded software for viruses, spyware and malware, no matter the source. Download freeware only from reputable web pages, FTP sites or sources.
