How "bout a nice spiffy cd CASE? My 50 meg CDs just have plastic sleeves and I can"t find any nice cases. (I have some 45 Mb cds with really nice little clamshell cases, but they are too small for DSL and they only fit round-ended cds, my 50s have square ends.)

I woud buy it if it had cool artwork, purely for the novelty of a cool disk and to support the cause. The art makes it that mmuch more worthwhile. Well at least in my mind...



Super good!

I would like to see a Special Edition 80mm disk that had the biggest DSL packages on it. By biggest I mean most popular (firefox, Openoffice anyone?). Sure that gets away from the whole Business card cd thing and makes it slightly larger. But i might pay $10 to $12.50 for a 80mm cramed with dsl & ci packages. Print it up nice, put it in a hard case (wont break in a backpack or breifcase that way), and you have a go anywhere office on any computer and internet connection (or if you have a floppy for files). Plus people ('hem, sysadmins at school) would know what was going in the drive. There, rattled off my $.02.

Mini 80mm cd w/extras burned on:    $5.50
Label printed with schweet graphic:   $ .50
Hard Case - 80mm size:                     $1.00
Shipping & handling:                         $2.00
Donation to ensure next release:         $1.00
Scaring/Calming Sys Admins as unknown disk slips into CD tray:  Priceless.

For everything else there are homeburnt CDs.

P.S. what scare system guys most. Sharpied Disk or Flasy Penguin Label?

People laugh because I have linux on a cd with me.

I laugh as the pay me for using that disk to recover their precious windows.

I looked into this stuff with a custom cdr firm in the states. They said 1000 pretty, printed cd's in custom made little tins would be $2000 or so. It seemed a bit steep to me! 1000 units was the minimum order btw.

Does anyone else know about this stuff? What kind of prices would you get?

WOW! Thats $2 a disk. :O  If we pool our money we could get a bunch. Granted 1000 seems like alot (and it is, the new version would be out by the time the 100th would be sold). You could do the old KNOPPIX thing: Event goers get the new version on a disk while we wait. Mabye the 0.7.3 or 0.8 release could be on a special disk that could be bought before downloaded. :blues:
