I heard about this site on linuxiso.org, and thought I'd check it out.

Never heard of Biz card CD-Rs before, and thought it would really be fun to be able to carry around a linux distro in my wallet for emergency uses (and for fun!) ;)

Problem is, will putting it in my wallet (using the plasic cover that comes with it... not sure if it's hard plastic or more of a dust jacket kind of thing) cause any problems? If it helps, it's an old leather wallet (not in bad shape though), and fairly stiff since I have 4-6 library/ATM/student ID type cards in it.

Anyways, just thought I'd ask before ordering and downloading. ^_^

strange question.
I use it and carry it in my wallet, which is a leather wallet as well. No inconvenience in it.
it works. just keep it in a inner side of the wallet, i.e. near cards.???

Be carefull, I smashed my DSL buisness card CD. :-( Oh well, I am glad my money went to a great distro.

I smashed every biz-card CD-R I had 2-3 days before new release :-)
Now it bought 210MB CD-RW...work's perfectly...I have it in bigger pocket of trousers

I just downloaded the iso and put it on a PocketCD and away I go. It works like a hot-damn, and the plastic case it comes in is the exact same size as a floppy, only a little less sturdy.

My card gets goobers on it from my wallet. Makes it unbootable for me.

I keep a copy in a small pouch in my car's visor.

Placing it in my wallet would not work for me.....
I'd trash it quick..

I do keep several in my car console, and in my laptop bag.
I had a dozen or so, the 185MB mini's w/extensions, in my car.

Only 2 or 3 left now...

It's easy to throw one in my shirt pocket, wherever I am..

Time to make some more !

I keep mine, a mini CD size Japanized version of DSL, in a pouch strung around my neck for emergency use at work. It can be downloaded from www12.tok2.com/home2/sachs/ (site is in Japanese).
