Same here. I've been waiting for this to kind of die down because of the
heated debates but really I own a computer store and even work with many
older systems/cdroms. The only time I've had problems is when the cd's were
burnt at to high a speed. IN this case they simply don't boot at all (failing
at different stages and mostly random problems) or they throw up multiple
error's during package install. These can all be tracked down to burning at
to high a speed. Or well sometimes I've tracked it down to not checking the
md5 sum first. It's not worth it to burn a cd that does not pass md5 sums.
I wish I could post numbers on the number of systems I've had to work with and
cdrom's etc but really it's to many to count and it's not worth my time
anymore.
