Boxes?! Nice. I still have a handful of those old Ubuntu live CDs for a couple different architectures. Pretty cool lil piece of computing history now, I guess. Not sure I really "converted" anyone to use Linux, but it got a few people interested to be sure!
Yup! I'd set the quantity to 50 or 100 in their order form, and usually receive around 25 to 60. Never was a consistent amount, but it was always enough to hand out.
haha, that's awesome! I think by the time I realized you could request free CDs, most of the distros (I can't even remember which) started limiting it to just a couple at a time. Still super cool though!
