I looked, don't have it. There was a red 4 CD set, I want to say it
was ImageMagick but that's the graphics program. It was a 4 cd set
of at least one Linux distro and a boat load of open source stuff.
It predated redhat so it was huge back in the day, way better to
buy that than spend a bizillion days on ftp over a modem.
H.J. Lu's stuff was on it.
Does anyone know where he is? I can go look if that helps.
