Well, you might have a point there, except for one gripe: not all of us has the capacity to burn CDs, much more to obtain it over the Net (or From friends, especially from those in remote places like me). I also find the earlier remark about banning CD ordering altogether rather extreme, since it is after all another possible avenue for distribution and for advocating GNU/Linux. Don't get me wrogn though: I do appreciate the Ubuntu people for shelling out cash so that we can get the CDs practically free. Let's just don't abuse that, shall we? :) -- ZAK B.
