I buy the CD's every time as I want to have a material reminder of every release. Thanks for pointing out the donation link it made me realize that deraadt too takes paypal, so I don't need to shift to paypal'ing the foundation, as I'm sick of doing bank transfers. As far as the USB stick goes, I think it's a good idea, I'd buy it but if it's too much effort and cost then don't worry about it. -peter
