    I bought a RedHat Unleashed book as a kid back in the late 90s simply because it came with an iso for RH 5 already burned to CD. I didn’t have a cd-r drive, and I couldn’t figure out how to boot from my external Zip Disk drive. I kinda miss Zip Disk, those were pretty cool.

      have a 1T usb drive for backups the last 10 years. machines come and go. backups persist and you only need one good copy

        I hope you’re joking.

        You definitely need more than one copy of your backup and hopefully you’re not relying on 10 year old hardware to backup anything important.

        Right on man, hope that dinosaur external doesn’t die on you… What does this have to do with anything though?
