(1) The item for sale seems to be something physical ... a USB drive ... 
as it will be physically be shipped (mailed) to the buyer?
(2) The version offered seems to be rather old ... may not work on 
modern systems?
(3) Value?  I really don't see any, but maybe to someone
I remember the first RetHat's were available for sale on CD's at most 
computer stores.
I remember I paid quite a bit for a set of StarOffice to run on an Apple IIe

Interesting Jog alone memory lane, eh?

Be well and take good care of yourself
