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.

    As much as I prefer other distributions over it, I am grateful for everything that Ubuntu has done to grow the Linux userbase.

    Man, I remember buying a Linux Format(?) magazine once and breaking out the included 7.10 CD.

    Later distros I messed with I remember waiting hours for those few hundred MB to download on my parent’s DSL connection, oh how times have changed!

      I downloaded several distros in the last days and it was faster to download them then copying them on the USB drive. That felt weird.
