Re: trilinux

In order to sell a really cheap Debian CD-ROM set, I need to sell a lot of
them fast or Debian needs to stop improving so fast. This is because I
need to run at least 1000 sets, it will be a week or more before I get
them from the CD presser, and after a few weeks more the remaining copies
are good for coasters or frisbees.

For now I prefer to put it on CD-R's and keep it up to date. I tried
Slackware. I tried Red Hat. I tried Debian and stayed with it. I made a
new 1.3 CD today and tested it on a few machines. One of them supported
bootable CD's and the install worked flawlessly.

As far as cheap CD's go, I have a collection of them and they do leave
things off. Some of the vendors have no real interest in Linux, so what do
you expect?
