Offline Version of Wikipedia
WikipediaOnDVD through the help of the wikipedia community has released a DVD containing about 2000 articles from the English Wikipedia. The articles have all been reviewed for quality and importance and include topics about geography, the arts, literature, science, history and natural sciences. This is version 0.5 and later versions are expected to include articles in other languages as well as a larger collection of articles.
The CD is compatable with Windows 98+, OS X running on the Intel-based Mac and Linux also running an x86 and can be purchased for 13.99 USD or downloaded free.
The resource is intended to be used by people without Internet connections, but I would consider it more of a preview for those people as with only 2000 articles it is very limited.
