We recently installed Wikipedia on DVD on our network and also made a copy
available on loan in our school library. It is available on the student
desktops with an start menu icon next to the other 'encyclopedias'  Even
though this is only a 0.5 version test release, I am impressed by how
popular it has become with our students.

The DVD is low on eye-candy and unnecessary graphics or movies so fast to
use, great for students that have run out of Internet credit, free for them
to take a copy home.

Huge download (torrent available) but you only need to grab one copy to
share :-)
