Part of me really likes that idea, and has liked it for a while now. Part of me thinks it's way more time, effort & cash than we probably want to be dealing with here. Who's going to print the discs? How much does that cost these days? How is distribution going to happen, exactly? Would it make sense to partner/piggy-back with someone already doing this? Maybe something could be packaged as a throw-in disc for Yellow Dog Linux. The nice thing there is that many (most, all?) of the packages would *not* need to be duplicated for both systems -- there would just be an extra bundle to install Fink onto an OSX system (or YDL too??) along side the rest of the Linux stuff on there. I could see this kind of Linux/OSX partnership leading to a bunch of pointless political arguments, but I could also see it being hugely beneficial for both sides here: Mac users would be able to give full-blown Linux a try, and Linux users could bring more of their toolkit to OSX. Both sides have much to gain & little or nothing to lose. I like it.
