Do you remember your first FreeBSD install?
Many in our community remember when installing an operating system meant waiting on physical media, dial-up downloads, or carefully tested CD distributions, long before pulling source took seconds.

We’d like to hear your story:
• Was your first FreeBSD install from a CD?
• Do you remember your first release?

Share your experience in the comments.

@FreeBSDFoundation I started here and continued with floppy disks until I acquired my first Walnut Creek CD with FreeBSD 1.x (x=something > 0). I had a stack of CDs even after version 4.x, but they were stolen.
