a single CD. This is the only example I have which had cover art.
</TD></TR>

the core technology behind much of FreeBSD.
</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/las512b.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/las512.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="171"></A></TD><TD>The first of Laser5's "BSD" series. Contains FreeBSD-2.0.5R, NetBSD-1.0,

<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/las5b.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/las5.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="128"></A></TD><TD>This is the Laser5 Japanese edition of the
FreeBSD CDROM. It is a 4 CD set.
</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/phtb.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/pht.jpg" HEIGHT="150" WIDTH="151"></A></TD><TD>This is the only FreeBSD CD Pacific Hitech produced before merging their
product line with that of Walnut Creek CDROM. PHT now also produces the
FreeBSD/J (Japanese) CD product.</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A NAME="221cd"></A><A HREF="gifs/coverb.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/cover.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="150"></A></TD><TD>This is the cover disc from the Korean <A HREF="#magazines">magazine</A>.
Note the creative cover art! The CD contains the FreeBSD 2.2.1 release

<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/wc-10b.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/wc-10.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="143"></A></TD><TD>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

</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/wc-blunb.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/wc-blun.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="148"></A></TD><TD>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.
</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/wc-200b.jpg"><IMG SRc="gifs/wc-200.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="149"></A></TD><TD>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. </TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/wc-205b.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/wc-205.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="151"></A></TD><TD>The FreeBSD 2.0.5 release CD. This was the first CD to feature Tatsumi Hosokawa's daemon
artwork.</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/wc-21b.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/wc-21.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="149"></A></TD><TD>The FreeBSD 2.1 release CD. This was the first CD release on the 2.1 branch

<TR><TD><a HREF="gifs/wc-216jpb.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/wc-216jp.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="150"></A></TD><TD>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.
</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/wc-217b.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/wc-217.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="149"></A></TD><TD>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

<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/wc-222b.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/wc-222.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="152"></A></TD><TD>The FreeBSD 2.2.2 release CD.

<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/wc-30snab.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/wc-30sna.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="148"></A></TD><TD>The FreeBSD 3.0 snapshot CD.
</TD></TR>
<TR><TD><A HREF="gifs/wc-docsb.jpg"><IMG SRC="gifs/wc-docs.jpg" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="148"></A></TD><TD>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...
