where do i find old distros (slackware 5, red hat 6 etc.)??

[Weedman]

where can i find old distros' downloads (etc iso's, floppys)

i tried google and it found nothing that was relevant to finding any iso's or floppy disks (ie slackware).

there must be some place on the globe where i can find old distros.


thanks

www.linuxiso.org has some older distros

[Weedman]

thanks for the link... it has some old distros

but what i really want (which i didnt put i the first post) is a slackware version <something> on floppy disks (not too many though).

how would i go about it?

or maybe an alternative with 486 hardware support, and commands like:

cp
mount
vi or vim
dd

etc...

i really like the aspect of breathing life into a 486 (with little ram eg. 4-8mb).

the have all of them here
http://zuul.slackware.biz/versions/

Also on the slackware site, ftp.slackware.com I believe they have all the versions.

thanks a lot for all the links!

another question: what could make use of an old 486?

If it has a network connection: server

If you are a programmer, you can test for compatibility with old hardware

Oh! Install DOS and play Gorillas (or install Linux and a Linux equivalent of Gorillas). That would be your best choice .

dsl or win3.11

dsl or win3.11

ive already got win 3.1, and some alternative to it would be good.
i like the idea of running dsl on it.

would it run fluxbox? only just maybe? or would i have to use something even more lightweight. (really unthinkable).
