One of the problems with Free and Open Source software is the difficulty of figuring out what is good, what is bad, and what is useful. Yet, Free Software can take a lot of the bite out of buying a new computer by not forcing the extra expense of a new copy of Microsoft Office, etc. for the new unit. One group has set up a website called Software for Starving Students which hosts CD images with some of the best and most useful Free Software. There is both a Windows and a MacOS X version available for download. You can download directly from here (there is a BitTorrent and full disk image there).
They also encourage folks to buy TheOpenCD if they do not feel qualified to burn their own CD Images from a download. Then again, if you have to buy it, it is not truly "free", is it?
