HI All,

It seems that the days of ordering burned CD's of distros has faded. People just have fast internet now. I recall a number of times that I ordered Slackware CD's or others because it was just easier than downloading and burning myself. I am actually planning on ordering CentOS 5.4 media when available to support the project.

Fast internet connections certainly helped, but in many cases, we don't even need physical media anymore. I use ISOs directly to boot virtual machines and a USB stick for physical machines that retrieve the installation from a loopback mounted ISO on a file server.
