If you want a system complete with everything you might need - or not - and have a personal repository in the form of DVDs, then you should be glad to know that the Fedora 9 Everything Spin was released.

The Everything Spin comes with every package and application that was available when Fedora 9 was released and even more. This Spin is brought to you on four DVDs. In case you don't have a DVD drive, don't worry! You can enjoy the fullness of Fedora 9 Everything by getting the CD ISOs. Okay, it seems that those of us who don't have DVD drives must have a lot of patience and a high-speed internet connection to get those ISOs! For the previous edition, Fedora 8, there were "only" 19 CDs, but this time you get 23 CDs. This Spin is available for the most common system architectures, i386 and x86_64.

Jeroen van Meeuwen, who announced this release, said: "This time Fedora Unity includes a 23 (!) CD version of the Everything Spin, *just for kicks*. With Fedora 8, the Everything Spin was just 19 CDs, so there's 4 discs of extra, new, shiny software! I'd like to see these discs piled up at every booth showing off the enormous amount of available Free and Open Source Software. Undoubtfully, some people will give away the CD version of the Everything Spin as a birthday present. Also, it reminds people why it is they need to upgrade their CD-ROM to DVD players."

This suits very well the persons who need a complete system with all the applications, like office suites, games, desktop environments, web servers and more. You have your own mirror of everything Fedora 9 has to offer at this moment!
