Anyone familiar with this project?
Oh, yeah. This was a great project while it lasted. It collected together some of the best open source/free software available. Sadly, the project died, though the site says that a new version is being developed.
I don’t know what you use, but their CD compilation was my own last step in converting entirely to GNU/Linux. The software they offered proved to me that free software/open source is the future.
Have you tried it?
