    Ubupirate mentioned in a PM that his license expires in March... But now we're drifting off topic

    I PXE install whatever distro I use with TFTP and NFS.

    On the PXE server the distro storage directory is 38GB. I currently have various versions of Mageia, Fedora, Scientific Linux, CentOS and openSUSE on there.

    Linux - ~13.7 GB
    BSD - ~2.6 GB

    I deleted several ISOs a while back that I didn't think I would be interested in again.

    Update:
    Since yesterday I've downloaded a couple of win 8 preview ISO's
    plus Debian Stable... The current stats are: 78 items, totalling 58.1 GB

    ...I'm not the only one with a problem

    Collecting is an illness one develops in consumer society. I keep a few image files around of the distros I work with on a regular basis, otherwise I download them as needed and delete ASAP.

    Well, I agree that consumerism is a problem in the western society,
    also think distrohopping and use of VirtualBox is quite normal when you're
    new to Linux and wish to have a look around.

    And besides, downloading ISO's and seeding them afterwards is a great
    way of supporting the Linux community

    I have all Linux mint from mint 9(all spins) to 12,all ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.10(all versions),fedora 12 to 16 and many more.I guess it totals to almost 150 GB if I count each spin as different distro

    Re: How many GB is your distro collection?

    the reason for such a huge collection is that somehow or someday I will need one distro or other for some purpose and I have only 512kbps(64 kBps I guess).So to download I will have to consume 4 hours internet and electricity.I have all of them burned to dvds.
