Any retail store that sells vcrs and dvd players will have a kit with a cd type disk in it. Some are combo kits with a blank vhs cleaning tape with a liquid along with the disk that you simply put in any cd player or optical drive on a pc.

CompaQ branded Linux disk? That could easily be bonded to one type of system and it's hardware configuration for old model before HP bought them out. Linux by itself can be downloaded directly and burned onto a cd-r where the live version or install to drive type release. Live means self contained OS on a cd-r. You run it by booting from the disk alone. Install means just that install to hard drive and use a Grub, Lilo, or other boot loader.
