Hi Everyone,

After over 16 years, OSDisc.com has closed. I started OSDisc to spread Linux and help new users get started. But providing DVDs today has little effect on the spread of Linux. I regularly see small distros that provide tens of thousands of downloads, but few if any DVDs are provided by OSDisc. The vast majority of Linux users are downloading Linux themselves. And that's a great thing to see.

What we've accomplished:

• Shipped over 300,000 discs and USB drives
• Helped over 110,000 users get started with Linux
• Answered over 25,000 tech support tickets
• Given back over $200,000 to the open source community

Thank you to everyone for making OSDisc possible for the past 16 years.

Sincerely,
Ramsey Brenner
OSDisc.com Founder
