[ubuntu-za] Old Ubuntu disks and memories

[PietBeukes t]

Hi guys,

  it was still good to hear and to cheer one on  - you guys keep well. 
Good to hear the enthusiasm for Linux - I've started my first Linux 
experience around 2006 (Mandrake at the time if I remember correctly), 
went through the range of systems, fell in love with Ubuntu but 
currently on Mint. I also still have some old Ubuntu disks - one from 
2008 with the SA government emblem on it.

Keep well
