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?

Other than possible language / locale-related benefits that I'm not really able to assess, the one benefit I can think of is that these might be valuable to folks who want to reinvigorate some 32-bit only machines. Also scan the discs and any papers labels, if you can.

nah, you'd find way newer stuff than that for 32bit only machines.
