Archives.org has a large supply of old Linux distros available in iso format. See here. Somebody might find this useful.

Yes, Garry. There is a ton of software on that site. Use the search feature and check appropriate boxes on the left. They have Netscape, Caldera, Debian Sarge and a Debian 1.3.1 boot disk. As near as I can tell they have most versions of almost every Linux distro.

Just by virtue of who they are, they have archival copies of virtually every page not explicitly protected by a robots.txt file.

Yeah, I guessed that but didn't want to over do it. They have a large collection of Grateful Dead concerts. Ah, I digress.
