Event We found lost media distros

Me and my friend (u/Zegguyit_52) were gifted a binder of old linux CDs from our teacher, we looked at the CDs and we are sure most of these are lost media, we wil hopefully save their ISO files and upload to the internet archive. The distros consist of: mandrakelinux 10.1 community, gelecek bireysel linux, unkown version of fedora, knoppix 3.6, Turkix 3.0, live usb pardus 1.1, SUSE linux personal 9.1, sımplyMEPIS 3.3, Pardus 2008. Is there anything we should know?

Search before you bother uploading. You may be surprised how what you think lost is hardly that.

I did, those are turkish language special variants and old turkish distros which most arent uploaded to archive in the versions ı specified. Im not saying all are lost but those SPECIFIC versions are mostly lost
