Your list looks great. The Best Free Software page at the wiki has 39
categories of free software and I've added the ones from this thread.
Thanks all!

I would think about firewall and anti-spyware software, since one of the
biggest headaches for non-technical users is when their machines get
corrupted. Might be nice to have a disk image for re-install on CD/DVD
if that is possible.

Not sure I saw sketchup on your list... if the P2s will run it, it might
be a nice addition.
I'm assuming if they are Windows machines, they will have MovieMaker on
them as part of the OS install.
Internet plug-ins (all the obvious candidates)
Internet Filtering? (as a parent, I would want something)
iTunes is a pretty popular request
CutePDF doesn't leave a watermark like PrimoPDF does
Skype
Links to useful websites in a folder on the desktop
Great of you to be doing this,
