Am I the only one who thinks that this business model of shipping distros via mail is getting rather outdated? Burning your own cds seems so much more convenient (saves lots of shipping time) and a lot cheaper when shipping costs are cut out. Of course if you're were desperate for printed documentation or something stuff like that could be shippable.. but for the rest why not just burn your own cds. I'm thinking of a payment method sorta along the lines of Mandrake's donations page... but this time nonoptional and with a charge per gigabyte of data downloaded from suse's ftp servers or something.... buy an ftp account and transfer quota instead of paying for a nice box.
