I concur that it's very nice to have a cd around, but if you've got
bandwidth available folks shouldn't be intimidated by network
installs; they're very slick.

I've always thought it was very cool that I could go from having
absolutely no Linux media at all to a fully installed Red Hat box (for
example) in 90 minutes on a cable modem. It sure lowers the barriers
to entry for the impatient amongst us!
