No, I will not allow the price to increase just because we'll decorate it with
a label. And I think it'll be a good idea to put the labels on. We can probably
use this as an advertising medium, anyway. Something in the line of "Burned by:
The Leather Collection, Inc." complete with our logo (smaller than the official
logo of the distro, of course). Information like date of burning and the
version and disk number are also good to put on the disc for that professional
look. So ... cd labels we'll go. Thank you very much everyone for the quality
input! :)

I will do my best to keep the price as close to P100 as possible. Key to this
of course is the selection of economical quality CD-Rs. I think the Kodak
Ultima Gold CD-Rs go for P30 each, I'm not sure, I have to look around first.
Is there any way for us to stress-test a burnt CD-R to make it go through what
would be a significant lifespan? Like can we 'dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null'
say ... ten times and then see if a disk image made (not to /dev/null anymore
of course) will still have an md5sum that matches the original? At the risk of
stressing the CD-ROM drive, this sounds like a great way to test the quality of
a brand and model of a CD-R without having to wait too long. What do you all
think? :)
Imation sounds like a good brand, and P13/pc is a good price. Any comments from
the other list members? (I personally don't think this is off-topic since we
all use CD-Rs and will benefit from the information. I hope I'm not wrong in
this assumption.)
