So it was decided to burn the contents onto CDs and send them out to everyone for a small fee. A sort of floppinet at maximum speed. The Walnut Creek Software business was built around this idea. After some time the company decided to experiment. They began not only to release software collections on CDs but also organized one of the most popular FTP servers of that time ftp.cdrom.to again look for a site for placement. And it was Walnut Creek Software that lent a helping hand.
Other archives such as Aminet software for Amiga computers and CICA Shareware a collection of Buy Email List shareware applications for Windows also began to be released on physical media and received a place on FTP. By that time very close ties had been established with the FreeBSD project which turned into an excellent collaboration. Walnut Creek Software began publishing FreeBSD on CDs making distributions available on their servers and even began sponsoring conferences on this operating system. This sharply increased the influx of customers who began to increasingly order discs.
Note that in addition to FreeBSD the company became the official publisher of the legendary Slackware Linux.
