I'd like to buy such a distribution, and I'd even be willing to pay extra for it, but I see a problem here. I really doubt that the majority of the purchasers of the CDROM really would benefit, and this would probably raise the production cost a lot. I just don't see that as providing a service for the majority of users. Jordan, are you listening?
