</I>><i> It's why I went with OpenSUSE rather than Ubuntu, Suse comes on a
</I>><i> dualsided DVD, 64 bit one side, 32 bit the other, live gnome and kde
</I>><i> sessions on both sides and lots of options so that you can install a
</I>><i> full system of your choice from desktop to webserver without needing a
</I>><i> broadband connection.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Ubuntu on the other hand /only/ comes on CD with one DE and a basic
</I>><i> desktop only install and it assumes you have a network connection, yet
</I>><i> it can't setup a dialup connection during install, MDK 8.0 used to do
</I>><i> that no problem.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Please, DVD and a way to obtain the media at a reasonable price.
</I>><i>
</I>Hear! Hear! Beers for that man!!
