Re: Open letter to Debian community
Hi,

NEVER draw the line. Debian is growing, the storage medias are growing. You
said it. DVD recorders are getting affordable so in the near future you can
buy a DVD instead of the 5 CD's. And a few years later you buy 2 DVD but then
I think there will be already a new media with much more storage space. I
don't agree to cut debian down. It's sounds like censorship. How do you want
to define which software is included and which is not? I think the current
situation is ok. Important software is on the first CD. If you don't want to
do some special things, you don't need more than this CDs. What's wrong about
it?
Otherwise I can't say much about this topic, because I am installing debian
from the internet and not from cds. I know that not everyone on the world has
a cheep connection to the internet. But exactly for these people I think it
is very important to have as much software as possible on CDs.
