The objectives of the project are: “to provide a free alternative to expensive software with equal or higher quality than the equivalents of commercial or shareware software for Microsoft Windows ”, and “to demonstrate the possibility of using Linux as an operating system for home, business and education ” [ 1] .
The project was created in September 2007 and was replaced by Chris Gray's TheOpenCD project , which was closed due to the many difficulties that, in the author's opinion, negatively affect the course of the aforementioned Canonical project.
Since September 27, 2007, the OpenCD project is no longer being developed (the former OpenCD project was replaced by OpenDisc).
