Installed Linux for the fist time in Feb, I've now started saving ISO's

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have quite a collection of ISOs.
One reason is that I have hardware that requires specific versions to boot (newer ones have removed support). Sometimes the distro still works just fine in that hardware but the live iso does not. So I can install with an older ISO and update.
Another is that use virtual machines regularly. I do not want to have to wait for the ISO to download every time.
