Re: Obtaining stable 2.0 on CD-ROM
If you are a newcomer, the source CD is not necessary. The source CD
contains source code to all the applications, etc on the Debian
distribution. All you really need is the binary CD. As for the most
recent stable version, with this being the initial release, they will all be
the same.
