All the way back to MEPIS 8.0!

Too bad there are no checksums or sigs, but you can check the downloaded ISOs versus those from MX if you need to.

It seems the uploader is "allytonx" and they credited all the ISOs to "andrianmx", which I assume is our Adrian. Allytonx has uploaded a vast number of other ISOs, from what I can see.

Archive org is pretty public and free. I see all they ask is a donation. Up to you. I don't kniow what steps one needs to take to upload anything there.

I think I watched a news report. Like " Good Morning America. Or 60 minutes On what Archive.org is and what it does .
The dude is like us working out of his crib.

You think you guys got some uploaded isos on that site. Search Puppy Linux at archive.org. It is a expanse of Puppy isos there.

Maybe they meant me, although my account there is AdrianTM (and also I cannot be credited for the releases of MX and even less antiX.

Can you regenerate isos from burned CDs?

I think I might still have some old MEPIS CDs around here somewhere, like 2003.10 and SimplyMepis2004.

You of course you need to simply use dd. dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/cdcopy.iso (that might copy extra padding so the checksum might differ from the original) See the second answer for a better way to do it https://askubuntu.com/questions/147800/ ... accurately

allytonx == username "ally" at Puppy Linux Forum
He has chugged along, year after year, serving as an "unsung hero" archivist.

For those, like me, who want stuff backed up, I would note that I automagically have my crucial genealogy site (Wordpress) uploaded to archive.org. It's a great off-site & free backup in case of disaster.

Yes, it's as easy to sign up for it as it is for the MX forum. I've uploaded some MX ISOs myself, but just one per item so the torrent will just get that one ISO by default. If you tried the torrent from the OP, you'd get all 150+ ISOs!

The Wayback Machine part of archive.org is extremely interesting, often used for stuff like finding embarrassing blog posts or tweets that the poster has since deleted, but also it's so much more. I wonder if they have the first MX website...here's a snapshot from 15 Jan 2015: https://web.archive.org/web/20160208042 ... ty.org/mx/
