    Might I suggest using TheOpenCD instead?  That project already creates a 
CD of Windows-based free software and the team that puts it together updates 
it fairly regularly.

    I think the key that's needed for a library outreach effort (sorry, but 
I can't resist throwing in my $0.02 worth) is the human contact with the 
individual libraries: the general chit-chat and education in free software 
alternatives, along with various amounts of hand-holding and support.
