The cost of a single CD-RW is not very high, but the cost of thousands upon thousands would add up quite quickly for Canonical, that being in addition to the cost of the CD-Rs; wouldn't it make more sense to for us as testers to just buy a blank one and call that our contribution to the Ubntu project? (plus we can reuse it for other things if we don't want to keep it for testing ;) I've been using CD-Rs for the Herd CDs (I buy spindles on sale; they're not overly expensive), but I must admit it is a bit wasteful; I'll have to switch to a CD-RW for testing :) CK -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
