Where I work we have a few ancient and out-of-date Ubuntu systems (We're talking 6.06 and such). The repo's have disappeared taking the packages with them and we needed a good/reliable source for old packages.

Howto: Install and update
$OS = your desired vintage Ubuntu release (ie. warty, hardy )
The replacement method should be as simple as editing your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ $OS main multiverse restricted universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ $OS main multiverse restricted universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ $OS-updates main multiverse restricted universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ $OS-updates main multiverse restricted universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ $OS-proposed main multiverse restricted universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ $OS-proposed main multiverse restricted universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ $OS-backports main multiverse restricted universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ $OS-backports main multiverse restricted universe
then update apt-get and apt-get upgrade if needed. :)
Hope this helped anyone whom might have been curious if there is life after a distro has seen EOL Cycle come and go.
