:Would there be any objection to having zipped versions of our ISOs? The
:file size wouldn't change much.

:If someone happens to be downloading with a Windows client, it's a minor
:pain in the rear to have to track down a gzip binary for Windows to get to
:the ISO. I have one comment from the Digest where someone got bit by
:this, and I imagine there's others.

I see the reasoning but I don't like the idea of the multiplication of
space used for N different compressed versions of the ISOs.
It may be easier just to provide a pointer on the download page
to windoz programs capable of decompressing the .gz.
