Biggest iso size = ~4.3GB; I don't think they should opt for
double-layer DVD's just yet, wouldn't you say? not everyone has a DL
DVD drive...

FWIW Fedora has a DVD
<A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#formats">http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#formats</A> (one for 32bit
and one for 64bit).
P.S. Please don't top-post when sending emails to mailing lists:
