I have found that TheOpenCD and especially the GNUwin CD are a lot to 
give a kid that is just learning about open source. It is sometimes 
useful to have just the software you are looking at such as GIMP and a 
few others and pointers to ALL they can get via BitTorrent or other 
methods on a CD.

And it is nice to have the Windows and Mac versions so if you have 
someone with a Mac, they get going right away.

There are so many choices that it is somewhat overwhelming to get 
started. Getting the idea that there are choices and good ones across 
with pointers to where to go to follow up is useful.
