At most of the workshops we do, whether on OpenOffice.org, The GIMP,
or Linux topics, we give out a CD that we compile.  We call it the
Linux.bz CD.  It has over 20,000 pages of Linux documentation,
including almost all the howtos and free books (all we could find)
plus man pages.  All of this is in html to be cross platform.

We also have the most recent versions of OpenOffice.org, Mozilla, The
GIMP, and several other helpful open source tools, like Putty, all in
their Windows versions, to help get them interested in open source.

To our knowledge, there's nothing on this CD that is proprietary, so
anyone can copy it and share it with their friends, or your teachers.
Let me know if you this might help, and I could send a copy for a
small charge ... unfortunately, in a developing country with very
expensive Internet access we can't afford to copy and ship these for
free.

Sounds like a great plan, though.
