Oh, another thing I'd like to add. Ubuntu community very concerned about whether to ship their ISOs as DVD or as CD media. They claim (and I think it is very true) that a lot of their potential users still do not have DVD drive and will not have for a long time. I think the requirement would be to ship only distributions which fits on a single CD media, otherwise we will automatically loose some percentage(may be significant) of audience.
