Feel free to disagree. :)<br><br>I have no facts to back it up but I would like to see some demographics of Ubuntu users. <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 1:08 PM, Mark Unwin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mark.unwin@gmail.com">mark.unwin@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I would assert most "users" who download Ubuntu (at present) are what I
would call (at least) Power Users, and would derive great benefit from
this. I think the _majority_ would benefit. So I suppose I disagree with
your assertion (ohhh, flamewar !!!).<br>
I also suggested that another image be retained (in the Blueprint) for
exactly this reason. Some people will only want an Ubuntu 32bit ISO. So
leave that there, but make a DVD for eveyone (everything) else.<br>
<br>
Would also suggest they _only_ make it available via bittorrent, or a
local ISP mirror. But that's more a business decision, and not in
scope...<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

<i>"If I were you I'd put it together, then put it up on sourceforge and link to it from your own website."</i><br></div>
Not sure exactly what you mean...<br>
Do you mean the spec or an actual DVD ISO ?<br>
I have no hope of doing the DVD ISO - I honestly wouldn't know where to start.<br>
The spec on the other hand - yes, definatley. I have started one
already (a detailed spec). Shall be adding it to the Blueprint and (as
suggested) will put something on Brainstorm. Might even "spam" the
Ubuntu Forums !!!<br><font color="#888888">

Hey Mark,<br><br>It's a good idea but I'd suggest that it has a limited target audience. Great for techs though because they only have to carry around one DVD but most users will simply want to download the regular Ubuntu desktop edition (32 or 64bit).<br>
<br>If I were you I'd put it together, then put it up on sourceforge and link to it from your own website.<br><br>Then just start a few threads about it on the forums and generally let people know it's available.<br>
<br>If it's popular it will most likely be added to the list of editions available for download. ;)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div>On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 12:30 PM, Mark Unwin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mark.unwin@gmail.com" target="_blank">mark.unwin@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
