My earliest memory of Linux is a bunch of dark blue 3.5 inch disks that I used to install Slackware from. I think that GCC required additional 4 disks and X 6 of them? Good times.

There were CD-ROM variants, but this was about the time EIDE support was still being added, so only those lucky SCSI owners could actually take advantage of it.
