Santa Barbara, CA., Nov. 7 -- FrozenTech, a company dedicated to providing LiveCDs on the highest quality media at reasonable prices, has introduced a new product – the ISO Loaded Hard Drive (ILHD). FrozenTech's ILHD immediately adds 246 Gigabytes of open source operating systems to any collection by distributing open source ISO files on consumer hard drives.

The ISO Loaded Hard Drive contains 246 Gigabytes of CD and DVD ISO files. There are 304 ISO files total; 140 different Linux distributions; 5 different BSDs; 1 project each from Darwin, Hurd, OpenSolaris, ReactOS, and Syllable; 3 architectures, x86, x86-64, and PowerPC; and ISO sizes ranging from a few MB to over 4 GB. They can be burned and installed, booted live, dual booted, run in emulation without burning, reviewed, compared, or redistributed.

FrozenTech, now a successful online store at http://www.frozentech.com, created the most comprehensive list of LiveCDs on the web in 2004. FrozenTech's goals of spreading open source software at affordable prices, and saving consumers the time and patience of sorting and collecting the vast array of open source operating systems are achieved with the incredible ILHD.

Find the perfect OS for your needs on FrozenTech's ISO Loaded Hard Drive.

So they ship hard-drives with GNU/Linux ISO files. I wonder what the benefit is.

304 ISO files, that become incredibly obsolete within a time-frame of 6 months (bar Debian stable). 304 ISO files means no time to try them all before they are superseded with their successor versions.Since development is still going at breakneck pace on GNU/Linux, an old ISO is no fun feature wise.

Instead of getting an ILHD drive, getting a decent Internet connection makes more sense to me...
