Wa alaykom assalem, Very good idea :) I like that, it respond to the need of most people :) many asked me for the add-on cd (your first proposition), for me I prefere the third one, and I ask all brother who can download it to make many copies and distribute them to persons who haven't Internet connection and/or the ones having a slow one..in fact I prefere the full version DVD because most of people converted to ubuntu (Sabily or other) they don't know big thing about linux, and so a full DVD with simple steps of installation will be great for them.
