Motivation
All of us grew up seeing IT@School operating systems in school. For some of us, IT@School distros were the first interaction with a computer. Seeing this OS boot up and playing with the software inside is nostalgic to us. CD reader is a rarity to find nowadays and in many years time, these OS, now more than 10 years old might get lost. We wanted to prevent it from happening.
List
All the ISOs have been uploaded to Internet Archive. We recommend using a torrent client to download the ISOs. Transmission is a good torrent client.
You can use a software like Virtual Box to boot these ISOs and try it out.
