Distribution of such a DVD release is more problematic. I do have colo
space but I had to RMA the server box due to it being unstable (I tried
it w/ two OS's and it corrupted & paniced both after a short while).
I hope to have it working within a month and will have at least 5 MBits
of bandwidth to play with. We should also consider making the DVD
release commercially-available, e.g. have a 2-disk set (CD+DVD).
I think the space is not a problem. The majority of downloads, being
release or snapshot isos or pkgsrc binaries, is served anyways from
mirrors across the world. A DVD wouldn't hurt - we'd only need a way to
push it to the mirrors quickly enough :)
cheers
