I'm a dinosaur who still uses optical media. Y'all just watch. CDs are gonna make a comeback in the next 15 years.

Telling myself that helps me sleep at night.

This is the DVD I burned with my roommate's laptop in late 2012. The hard drive in my laptop crapped out. The local repair shop couldn't recover my data, and the sticker with the key had been worn away too badly to read. A Windows 7 license in the day was really expensive, and I never heard of buying retail keys. I definitely didn't know enough about piracy to find a cracked ISO. At this point, I'd heard of Linux, but knew basically nothing about it. I just assumed it was for wizards with beards two meters long who stay at the tops of their towers reading ancient tomes and channeling the spirits of lost zeroes and ones.

So I bought a disk for my laptop (fun fact - that thing lives in my super slim PS3 now) and dove headfirst into Ubuntu just because at the time, it was said to be the friendliest distro for newcomers. The thought of using bash scared me at the time. Great times. But in my mind, the best way to learn sometimes is to have no alternatives.

Given the sub I expected it to be your porn collection. But the text suggests you're serious.

Sad

don't badger me, it's a breeze to install off the disc.

Yes!! I didn't have luck to dig mine out, but these were great. The packaging was fancy, 5.10 was so stable. I ordered a bunch of em and left them around libraries at the time lol. I hope it helped someone discover linux

Support for Windows NT NTFS filesystem (read only at this stage)

I even have the case badge in there!!

It came with postfix, thats awesome. I setup a makeshift security system on asus g-14 that recorded video while i was away. I used Motion to capture and PHP to parse the files to folders and build a html file that used stills. Then used postfix to send me an email.

Probably still have the crappy code somewhere if I looked hard enough.

Kidding about the 64bit, that disc supports sparc64!

I am sure in my CD binder I still have all my redhat 6 disk, I still get shivers thinking about getting sawfish working.

That's it, I'm going to go find my Mandrake Floppies...

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

My wife finally threw out all our floppies and VHS tapes. She doesn't know about the stack of CD-Rs

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 11 points 9 hours ago

Why would you throw out that perfectly functional christmas tree ornament...

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 5 points 7 hours ago

I just pulled out a copy of Office 97 when cleaning up. No way in hell I’m throwing that one away.

Only 12 years? Pretty sure I got a red hat CD from when I was in college 25 years ago

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 6 points 9 hours ago

For me Knoppix CD was the way

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Turn it upside down and place in microwave for a few seconds. Make sure it's in the middle and not touching the sides.

Fun little light show.
