Cool! Closest I got to that was trying and failing to install S.u.S.E. (as it was called) 5.2ish from downloaded 3.5" floppy images. Never heard of Linux on 5.25" disks until now. A friend had a 5.25" drive in his computer for laughs until around 2010.
- mrlonglong 2y agoI often joke with people that I possibly have the last working Pentium MMX in the universe under my home desk. That thing has 5.25" and 3.5" floppy disk drives.
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoNow I want to rock up at work and plug in an external diskette drive into my macbook and move code around that way. Just rock up to the other team with a diskette, versions 1, 2, 3, final and final-final crossed out, ask "Hey can you do a quick review for this?" I'm gonna see if there's anything like that. I'm sure I have my old diskettes I used for school files somewhere still (that would be 2002-3, not long after I got my first USB stick). I can see they still sell USB diskette drives.
