I checked out linux cd mall. They charge $12.50 for the CD set (or DVD) and CentOS makes ONE DOLLAR. Unless you envision tens of thousands of people buying CDs, it hardly seems like a worthwhile endeavor unless you're the CD distributor. Why not just find a way to make it easier for people to donate directly to the project instead of creating a needless middleman who is taking 92% of the money for each CD/DVD set sold? Hell, for 92% of the profit, I'd be more than happy to sit at home and burn DVDs all day. Where do I sign? 8-) Cheers, C
