Hi,
Here's an issue of great debate in the Edubuntu circles, and I've been
asked to solicit your opinions.
What does this audience consider the best compromise route if a bundled
education release starts to run into the 1 CD storage limit ?
Bearing in mind the following constraints:
* many school environment run on older equipment
= more CD than DVD drives
* many schools don't have great Internet connectivity
= download of add-on packages can be tedious or even impossible
* a 2 CD release adds to press & print & ship cost overheads
= for a 100% free request & receive send end user offering
Opinions & comments welcome.
Richard
