Yes, they are an important distribution method. Additionally there will be reviews/articles accompanying the cover DVDs. Don't forget, this is cost free advertizing! My view: - Free DVD (32/64) with a proper installer - distributing only live media is a bad habit of some distributors, let's make a difference there! As we have support of the idea of free software written in our values we should stick to that. In addition to that we could include non-free firmware in a part of the DVD, to be activated in the installer (opt-in). - 4 life ISOs (Gnome & KDE, 32 & 64) for USB sticks (up to 1GB), they work for all kinds of machines, even such without optical drives. The additional space would be enough to include all langs. - boot.iso, this is done anyway, so it's no extra work -- wobo -
