…from EasyOS, a Linux distro, which moved to the .img format.

      Thank fuck not ISO8601. Wish ISO 27001 would tho, such a pain to comply.

        27001/2 are required. And they’re only hard to adopt when the Delta is just so much. If you’re doing ITIL to your best extent then it should be easier: people are used to accepting incoming wisdom and there are opportunities to implement in an orderly fashion.

        So, “moving fast and breaking stuff” is further into the “yeehaw kids” realm.

    I have a few CD-ROMs labeled “High Sierra” because the ISO 9660 format was always a loose approximation of what people were already doing. It got kludged even harder as CD-R and CD-RW took off. Turning that into something a USB drive can boot was a magic trick that lasted far longer than it probably should’ve.

    Can you use a .img file on a DVD? I store all the ISOs I have on optical media. Other than that, .img sounds like a really good format. I would have to learn something new to use it though.
