Hi Carlos, Before DVD's, debian sarge was/is available in a 14 cd set. This set was created with the intent to provide the most used items on the first cd and so on with the 14th cd being the least used software. And most folks could install a complete Debian/Gnu linux system with Gnome/kde with the first 3 CDs. This would imply that the #1 DVD should contain cd #1-7 of the cd set and would be enough for most server and desktop users.
