Are there still any versions of Linux sold in a box like in the 90s / 2000s?

I've tried to find them to no avail. I'm guessing the box sets just aren't made anymore, but I figured it's worth asking in case there's some obscure one out there somewhere.

To clarify, I'm looking for a more recent Linux version. I know the older ones can be found on auction sites and the like.

Debian has a list of vendors who sell it in a media (USB, DVD...), some of them also sell other distros.

Thanks. I was hoping for an actual set in like a cardboard box.

I remember getting a Ubuntu CD box set many years ago when I ordered free disks in the mail as a teenager. The box was well constructed, prints of high quality and the CD labels were especially sharp.

Crazy how physical media was king back then.
