every persons that can plug a pc into a phone line and surf the net is probably rich enought to buy a beer, or a funny t-shirt, or a nice pair of sunglasses. The choice of where you spend your (little or much) money depends on you. just that.

Exactly.

DSL is not only very nice, but it also fills a real gap.
We have read in how many ways it can be used: just because you like it, for older hardware, as a thin client...

Therefore we must resist the trend of some minor linux distros: they are only a temporary fashion.

Of course, if we give John the needed financial support, we motivate him to keep going.

Uhh my bad english a make people upset, what I wanted to say is this (and GOD I hope I do this better this time):

1, For the moment I have no intresst in paying for a nice CD, because of lake in econmy and that I am just using DSL as a learning tool.
2, I think I would pay for it when my econimc is far better and number 1.0 is realesed (Sp?)
3, Personally I say: save the good looking style untill 1.0 it would be something to celibrate

Just throwing my two cents worth here... but isn't Linux about choice?
So what's wrong with offering both?
An affordable 'Sharpie' edition and for a little bit more an 'Elegant' edition...
I would purchase the deluxe edition as gifts for my geeky friends...

[B]EXCUSE ME!
I am a new member, if you really want to get sellable CD's i would suggest a professional Run! I am a CD manufacturer, and if you had a really nice retail package i do believe that you could do Quite Well for moving DSL! Also you could partner with Router/Motherboard companies to include it free as a promotion! Think about this for a moment, CD's Retail Ready, Beautifull FULL COLOR printing on the CD, and a Very Nice looking Tri-Folded CD case Color Printed, Shrink Wrapped and Bar Coded for aroun $4.50 - 7.00 US (retail them around 9.99 and up). You can contact me via email if you have any more questions.

whoa! getting a bit outside the scope of what we're talking about here.

I'm not John, but all the conversations I've ever had with him suggest that he's not the type to sell anything that ends the price in .99.

Also, consider that by the time the kind of disc and package you're talking about is ready to ship, the next version is most likely going to be out. John has been averaging a new release a week for a couple months now.

Nevermind the fact that product placement and bundling and such requires a business, and that's not what John's been running. He's a hacker; he's making a neat little distro in his spare time and we love him for it.

Hey, I'd love to see those little CDs in a rack in my local computer store, but I just don't think that's gonna happen any time soon, if ever.
