i need a physical CD set so i can install the OS. who burns it is largely
irrelevant. YDL needs money, because programmers gotta eat too. they
already have enough to do: i don't want them to take on another expense
(t-shirts, web-based mail or whatever.......), i just want to give them
money for what they've already done. whatever ydl.net is, it costs ydl
money providing a service that ydl might not be the most qualified on the
planet to do (obviously they are the most qualified to provide linux
distros :-).

i don't want to make a big deal about it, i just want my warm fuzzy
satisfied user feeling to translate in the most profit for ydl as
possible (and therefore the best OS, in the long run).
