If InfoMagic CD's were not reliable, it's because they were cutting 
their CDs (to shoehorn Debian into their toolkit CDs), and not taking 
the same quality control as we do when developing our official CD 
images.

If InfoMagic is now shipping Official Debian CDs, then they are using 
our CD images, so they should be just as reliable as anyone else.  And 
according to Kenneth, that is exactly what htey are doing.
