I bet the new aldi computer has a dvd-writer so i could argue, strongly, that a dvd burner is mainstream for computers who are bought now. dvd-burners have also dorped a lot in price, at the moment they are 300 euro, and they will drop even more in the new year so i will claim that most of the Mandrake users, who may be mainstream for linux but are NOT mainstream users, will have a dvd burner by the end of 2003. In other words mandrake 10 will need a dvd image which means that it will be necesary to have it tested around 9.1
