Old Distributions?
rsd writes: "I have been searching the web for a few days looking for old rpm based distributions ISOs for a study with libc5. All I could find so far is some loose packages, but not a downloadable ISO image. For RedHat 4.2 and older, Conectiva Linux 1.0, ... it is impossible to find. So I ask myself is there a centralized place taking care of this, for public use and even preservation of the Linux History and evolution? We have lots of places with ISO images, like linuxiso, however these sites just keep with recent distributions." -
Uncle Sam's Funhouse

How about a 6 foot aluminum sphere with microwave plasma lamps called the 'Black Ball of Sunlight' to check that new polymer for photodegradation? The online version of the Washington Post has an article about the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, where all this and more occur daily." -
ISO Image Web Site And CAD Program
It's often difficult to find ISO images of Linux distributions to download and burn onto a CD-ROM. LinuxISO.org is the solution: a Web site of ISO images of all major linuxes, FreeBSD and NetBSD. Another useful link is a Linux/BSD CAD program for architects: Cycas 2.0 which is zero-cost for personal use.
