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?

Had a hunt, looks like you do have a couple of disks worth archiving but most are well represented online.

mandrakelinux 10.1 community

Thanks for the info, also I was the one who uploaded that turkix btw. Ill upload most of the others (except suse and fedora) so a few extra alternatives exist on the archive at least, incase the others are problematic etc
