I also got the OpenCD v 3.1a which has some opensource windows apps on it.

Busy downloading OpenSourceFree CD which is a similar concept but has SLAX built in as a live distro

I used Gentoo for a long time, but I've moved back to Arch Linux now. My main problem with Gentoo is that everything needs to be compiled from source, so a full installation takes a day or two - if you get everything right the first time. If you update regularly you're almost constantly going to be compiling something.... And the packages in the stable branch of Portage are regularly broken.

The full Live CD ISO is on this month's PC Format cover disc, but I can post you a copy of it if you would like?

Thanks Futs! List has been updated. BTW, is that Suse 10.2 the 32-bit or 64-bit version?

Thanks for the offer Judas.......nah....dont worry about mailing it to me. Using (K)ubuntu has made me really lazy (lovely deb repositories!), so the thought of compiling every time I update doesn't quite appeal to me.....thanks for the heads up.

Would also like to get my hands on a recent "pure" Debian release. We'll wait and see if anybody here has it.

Thanks again....

@Mori : Haven't used it yet, somone mentioned it to me sometime ago but never got arround to downloading it and eventually forgot about it.

Checked the site quickly and it has metasploit (oh happy day) :P I only recently started playing with the windows version, They did a good job with Cygwin.

I'll try and download it sometime. many thanks.

@mav3rick : Suse10.2 would be 32-bit, Just checked the folder again and I see I've missed RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 U4 (32-bit, 4cds)

Hi All.

I'm going to be away from an internet connection for the next couple of days. Please keep this thread going and I will update the list when I get back.

Also if there are any other members who have tons of bandwidth and are willing to help us out by downloading a distro then please contact us and we will point you to the ones we still need.

Thanks again to all that have helped so far!

Ok, I'm still looking for Suse 10.2 64-bit.

I think AlphA wanted Debian.

And Mori wanted Slack 11.

Fedora Core 6 would be good, if you can get your hands on it. :D

You can add Gentoo 2006.1 to my list, seeing that it came on the latest cover disc. :P

(Now if only it wouldn't blow up in my face when I install it...)
