  • In software jargon, a toaster is a self-contained software package that is easily distributable by electronic means. It generally connotates free software and is a term widely used in the open source software community. The term is a derivative of "freedom toaster. " The original concept was to provide a self-contained software package that could easily be burned onto a CD-ROM and taken to a remote location for use. Now, toasters are generally downloaded from online repositories (yet can still be burned onto CD, if desired). Toasters often comprise differing software components that were not originally packaged together. The new toaster package provides a co-ordinated packaging framework in which all the components can function together as a self-contained unit.
