This topic came up just last year, actually ...

Back in 2008, Woody Smith compiled a list of packages that he had tested:

James Fraser expanded on this in a subsequent reply:

Tony Kan also has a list of educational titles listed here:

Note that many of the download links will have died over the years, but many of these packages are available on the UNNA backup site:

If there are any packages that you are unable to locate, let me know and I'll throw some of my archive-fu at them.
