Re: switch to DVD
by bubazoo on Saturday 05/Feb/2005, @19:07

well, I do have to admit, DVD burners are getting dirt cheap.
I picked one up for my wife at $69 the other day at walmart, and that was a
dual-layer 16x model.. The older 4x DVD+_r models that don't
support dual-layer are even cheaper then that.. $69, thats like
3 weeks of $20 payments on layaway.. I spend more then that on cloths
or groceries at walmart... Sorry but thats dirt cheap, and I only make
$6 an hour at my job.. but at $69, for a dual-layer, thats a steal..
At that price, I got 2 of em, so now my wife and I both have one for our
old broken down computers. LOL I think you'd better check around again
guys..

As for a DVD version, I would like to see one, but its no big deal.
I'm not too much of a knoppix fan anyway. Its bad enough they put KDE,
the crappiest desktop manager known to the LInux community, on there,
would be nice to have Gnome, or even xfce4 instead, if you guys are
SOO concerned about DVD's being expensive, why don't you DITCH the KDE
bloat and get something smaller that will fit better on a CD-R, like
xfce or even Gnome instead. nobody will even know the difference.
Its better then taking out documentation to make 3.7 fit on a 700 mb CD-R, thats just rediculous.. and take out twm, and some of those other window managers that don't even work under knoppix, thats just a waste of space.
If yer gonna insist on KDE, at least put KDE on there as well as another
choice that actually works with the distribution. THats just, a waste of space that could be used for more programs or documentation for the project.

thats my opinion anyway, but personally I could care less if they come out with a DVD version or not, because I am not a big fan of knoppix anymoore anyway, but I had to comment on the DVD burner issue, they ARE getting dirt cheap.. I make $6 an hour raising 3 kids dude, and I can afford one.. ever heard of layaway? $69 heck I pay 3x that amount in groceries man.. thats dirt cheap if you ask me.
