> TSX11

Could it be tsx-11.mit.edu?

There's a (partial) mirror of that FTP site in 1996 here: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/ftp-archives/tsx-...

As for SunSite, ibiblio also hosts https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/ftp-archives/suns... although I think that was a more popular name? A floppy distribution of Linux that I used around 2000 was hosted on sunsite.dk https://web.archive.org/web/20010127161100/http://sunsite.dk...

Update: WOW! I didn't know that Wine developement was already active in 1994! Somehow I had assumed it had started after Windows 95, however I just stumbled on this FAQ from 1994, mindblowing: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/ftp-archives/sunsi...

Not sure about TSX11, but there was a sunsite.unc.edu site back in the day, and they hosted Linux images (and lots of other F/OSS stuff).

Tsx11 was Ted Tso's MIT Linux site. Sunsite was unc (University of North Carolina). There was also funet in Finland (close to Linus). Those were the hot Linux sites back then.

Back in the early 90s I purchased CD-ROMs that were nothing more than archives of tsx11 and sunsite. It was much nicer for large files than downloading with a 28.8kbps modem.

Those were both common FTP sites that hosted a lot of early Linux and Unix open source software.
