I was digging through some stuff and stumbled on this. To think it's been 15 years. Crazy what you used to be able to get a free CD of back in the day.
I do remember

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i still have a few in a desk drawer at the office.. and was just thinking about them, too, the other day as i watched an .iso download on crappy DSL.
have one from the 10.10 version and a Kubuntu 10.10..I was super excited about receiving international mail for the first time in my life! tried uploading the pictures but I get error messages by jerboa 🥲
Hey fellow jerboaer, sometimes the spouted errors are nonsense and if you actually try to upload the image from the website it tells you the image is too big
Thanks man
Lemmy know if u find an easy way to compress images, I'm interested in uploading some too
Yeah, try compressing the images smaller. Some Lemmy servers have upload size limits. Or you can host the picture elsewhere and then just link it using:
```I remember my dad had one of these when I was young. I think it comes with a sticker too, cuz I remember sticking it onto a kitchen cabinet.
The stickers are that folded white slip behind the disc in the picture. I forgot to take a picture of them, but they don't look great since they were transparent and the adhesive has degraded into a patchy yellow/orange mess. A bit of a shame, but time marches on.
