Oh man, the days of needing to go to a conference to pick up Linux CDs. Yes, I definitely remember Caldera. Only thing from that list I haven't done is meet Linus though I guess I will get around to it at some point.

Actually come to think of it, Ubuntu really hit the CD nail on the head with Shipit, those of you with 28.8 modems will know this feeling. I still have my 7.04 CD.

I also remember volunteers at my university who were organizing sessions where you could go with a blank CD and they would copy over a Linux distro!

And of course there were computer magazines that offered Linux distros in their CDs!
