Since the time when you ordered, I have improved the CD a little, the 80 mm rounds and the full size come in jewel case and the business card ones come in a vinyl sleeve (when BS got his it came in a zip-lock bag  ). The business card CDs are a bit higher quality too. They are still labeled with a sharpy though.
I burn them one at a time from my hard drive too...
If people want a fancy CD I am willing to offer them -- heck, I'd like to have one.
One thing though, is I come with new releases often, do you think that would be a disincentive to buying one?

That's sort of how I see it too, making DSL is a hobby and I am really only standing on the shoulders of others in making it -- but the CD sales (and the trickle of donations) help support my hobby of improving DSL.

Actually, I don't think that's true. A lot of Linux users are not in a position to be paying for software, like folks from developing nations or students. Yet, I've been surprised by the amount of orders and donations that have come in. I wasn't expecting it. |
At first I thought that there might not be much interest in a spiffy disc because you're cranking out a new .iso every week.
But again, buying the disc is more for people making a donation: If you're the person who is thinking about clicking the "donation" link on the page, why not buy a slick disc? And it's not like the discs are useless. Heck, even if you don't want it anymore, you could pass the disc on.
It's a shame they don't make biz-card CDRWs - and not just for DSL, either. They're smaller than a floppy, they hold 50MB, and any computer that has a CD-ROM can read them.
Oh, and John: I'll make you a couple neat looking ones that are blank soon. The missus is sick and she's the artist, so I don't feel like pushing her to do some artwork.
