This is the cover disc from the Korean magazine. Note the creative cover art! The CD contains the FreeBSD 2.2.1 release with some local additions.

This is it - the very first FreeBSD CD published! Both the FreeBSD Project and Walnut Creek CDROM were fairly young back then, and you’ll probably have little difficulty in spotting the differences in production quality between then and now.

This was the second FreeBSD CD published by Walnut Creek CDROM and also the very last on the 1.x branch (ref USL/Novell lawsuit and settlement). The next release, FreeBSD 1.1.5, was only available on the net.

This unusual CD is something of a collector’s item now given that almost all existing examples were systematically tracked down and destroyed. An artwork mishap has this CD dated for the wrong year, and on the spine "January" is also misspelled as "Jaunary", just to increase the embarrassment factor. Ah, the perils of turning in one’s artwork just hours before leaving for a trade show.

This is the fixed-up version of the FreeBSD 2.0 CD. Note that the color scheme has even been changed in the corrected version, something unusual for a fixup and perhaps done to distance it from the earlier mistake.

The FreeBSD 2.0.5 release CD. This was the first CD to feature Tatsumi Hosokawa’s daemon artwork.

The FreeBSD 2.1 release CD. This was the first CD release on the 2.1 branch (the last being 2.1.7).

The FreeBSD 2.1.5 release CD.

The FreeBSD 2.1.6 release CD.

The Japanese version of 2.1.6. This was the first and last Japanese localized version published by WC, responsibility for that product then transitioning to a team led by Tatsumi Hosokawa and sponsored by Pacific Hitech and Laser5.

The FreeBSD 2.1.7 release CD. Also the last CD released on the 2.1.x branch. Done primarily as a security fixup for 2.1.6

An early release SNAPshot of 2.2 (done before 2.2.1 was released).

The FreeBSD 2.2.1 release CD. This was the first CD on the 2.2 branch.

The FreeBSD 2.2.2 release CD.

The FreeBSD 3.0 snapshot CD.

The FreeBSD mailing list and newsgroup archives, turned into HTML and semi-indexed by thread. This product ran for 2 releases and then stopped with a thud once it became obvious that there was simply too much data to deal with on one CD. Perhaps when DVD becomes more popular…​
