2009 was only 6 years ago, so I'm not sure what 1999 has to do with it :P
No joke -- Debian is a treasure trove of archival releases. Ask any other distro if they still have stable tarballs from kernel v2, and the answer will simply be "no".
In the days of Woody (3.0), we started producing DVDs reliably for every release from r5 onwards. Later releases included both CDs and DVDs as a matter of course.
Starting with Etch (4.0), we started making multi-architecture CDs/DVDs which would boot and allow for installation on more than one type of computer.
Starting with Lenny (5.0), we added Blu-ray (BD) images, downloadable only in jigdo format for the sake of mirror space and bandwidth. We also regularly produced live images - bootable images that run completely from the CD/DVD/USB stick and do not need to be installed to your hard disk. (More details...)
Starting with Squeeze (6.0), we started building CDs and DVDs for kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386, marking the first released non-Linux port of Debian.
I mean, at least itās not an AI slop Tux on a clickbait article that says, āForget Windows 11 - [INSERT OBSCURE, BORDLINE USELESS DISTRO THAT WONāT LAST TWO YEARS] cured my cancerā.
Like, I love Linux, and obscure distros have their place (Iād be cool with a review), but then thereās those horrible articles that mirror the overall devolution into soullessness that the internet has become.
On another note, those same sites with articles like, āForget Windows 11 - Windows XP 2025 Classic Edition Ultimate is what we needā, with UI mockups where Iād rather cut off my right hand with a circle saw than use them if they were real.
Personally, I believe there barely is such a thing as āgood AIā - I have a dislike of image and audio generation; while I avoid LLMs, I admit they have their occasional uses.

QUICK, IS IT DEBIAN, DREAMCAST, OR ESTROGEN

There's also a German game studio, and Dreamcast preventively used a blue spiral in Europe to prevent a trademark clash

And the cool thing is: not only were you able to install this 6 years ago, you were able to install it 16 years as well!
