Huh?
You certainly can get hold of DVD images for Debian sarge - for instance: at
cheapbytes, $12.99.
Especially right now, with the stable distribution being less than a year
old, sarge is perfectly fine. As for updates: 99% of the security updates
won't affect you - and for the few bigger ones (xserver) you said
sneakernet is totally feasible - apt-zip and other tools have been
mentioned. So, Debian is only network centric if you want to run testing
or unstable - sarge OTOH doesn't need much new software and can be run
entirely from the DVDs.
cheers
