As always, "it depends" :) For me, the latter is much more common. I very rarely actually burn a CD, even though I do fairly often download both the CD and DVD ISOs. I almost always mount them rather than burning a physical disk. For me, unstripped binaries would be much more useful. Of course, I also recognize that I'm not a typical (or maybe, "the target") Ubuntu user. This kind of touches on another use case that is kind of inconvenient for developers like me. I usually want lots of -dev packages but tracking those down are kind of a pain. Yes, `apt-get build-dep` helps, but not completely. Maybe something that would be helpful would be a ubuntu-developer meta-package that depended on the dbgsym and dev packages, so I could just get them all in one fell swoop. I generally don't care about network bandwidth or disk space, so that might not be very typical either. Cheers, -Barry
