Comment Why not DVD's? (Score 2, Interesting) 355

Speaking of budget Linux CD's, is there a reason that few if any of the regular CD vendors offer DVD-R's? Not that I don't love getting a whole stack of ten (10) Debian CD's in the mail!

I expect the next version of Debian will need to ship on a spindle pack, OR maybe more companies will offer DVD's instead!

Mandrake has a DVD available, but it's not free or even budget-priced, or wasn't the last time I checked. I don't really need all the extra non-free stuff they bundle in; I just don't like swapping discs.

Debian has a DVD available, but you have to install their funky little tool in order to download it. Not worth my time. Somebody, please just sell me the stupid disk!

BSD looks like it has a DVD, but it's also non-budget priced.

I haven't checked any other distributions yet, but would welcome recommendations.

Why aren't there more DVD distros out there?
