Infomagic linux developers resource

Hi, I am not crazy tech savvy at all, I am new here to find out what this is. I explore abandoned places as a hobby and I came across an antique store with an unopened box of “infomagic linux developers resource” 6 disc cd sets. I have no idea what these are but I am very curious because I love learning about any and all of my finds. It is the december 1999 version. I will post pictures in an edit when i get the outside wraps wiped and cleaned off.

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

Here are some links that might explain what InfoMagic linux is all about. These are earlier versions but should basically be the same as your 1999 find. I don't think posting pictures is necessary.

What is on the disks is archaic by today's distributions running on modern hardware but you could try running them in VirtualBox. I have played with DOS 6.22 and RedHat 9 running in a virtual machine.

This is more of a software question and will have it moved to a more appropriate forum.
