I have alot of CD's that were sitting around, and yes marker gets the job done on labeling, but it just feels wrong. I mean these are OPERATING SYSTEMS, so they deserve a case like windows or a mac release (rip windows 10)
so i used my laser cutter and etched some card stock to make some custom cases,
i also enjoy shitposting on the back on some of the cases
if you want the SVG's get them at my codeburg https://codeberg.org/Steamymoosmilk/Unix_like_CD_cases/src/branch/main/
These look great.
Also, I think the minimum system requirements for OpenBSD is just a potato. Maybe two potatoes if they're small.

I like "Rolling Relase" more - halfway between release and relapse.

Thought I was clicking on a deez nuts joke, but must say I was pleasantly surprised. Nice work!
Man, I wish someone still distributed their distro via CD/Box. Just as something to display.
So many fond memories of CDs. I remember Ubuntu sending me a bunch of Warty Warthogs for our Linux club.
I don't miss them though. I much prefer to use USB flash drives now.
Weirdly enough, only Debian has the most "OSy" logo of the six:
Why a devil for BSD? Why a pufferfish for BSD?
It feels like I'm looking at different IBM OS/2 patch disks and Debian is like "This is the one where we made it not crash"
It's not a devil, it's a daemon.
And technically, Puffy is a blowfish.
And the blowfish represents OpenBSD, not BSD in general.
These mascots make sense once you understand the projects from which they come.
very cool 👍🏿
Dang, this makes me want a laser cutter...
So cool. I've added occasional CDs to my ebay inventory and they're selling pretty well. Pretty fun and easy to ship and a nice excuse to buy/play with them again.
I feel like I miss them, but at the same I am afraid that we're over-romanticizing it as vintage pieces.
I tried having them with the pile of blank DVDs I got home, and it wasn't as fun as I remembered. I was hoping that it was due to some faulty hardware, but if that is indeed true, then that shows the unpracticality of this method with how error prone it is.
With that said, it still fills me with joy to know there are people like you who make art out of it. One day I will try again, perhaps with better DVD drive, or even better, one with bluray capability.
These are fantastic! :D
And I bet if these OSes actually had installation CDs with snarky packaging in their merch stores, they would sell more of them that way.
Never had the joy of an OS on a CD, but I'm still rocking my music on CD!
The Power To Serve (epic)
Very nice!!
no
I never liked CDs. The very concept of ROM is inconvenient.
