nah...will save that bandwidth for Korean Gems

^^Oh yes but Gems are very few and then you can always use spare bandwidth on distros

@Garbagewithoutbin

Lol...I said install whats necessary.

H

Typically a "Airtel" bandwidth. Then update at half the speed.

What if the 31st CD is corrupt? just kidding.

^^You need only one cd to install bases system. other cds are just extra goodies.

I bet.. the guys at Linux for You are going to bundle at least 3 DVD's of Debian.. they've done it before.. and the price will be around Rs 125/- .. that's a sweet deal if they will do that..

Unfortunately No, I asked the editor, Rahul Chopra and they might not give all the DVDs but just might give the first DVD.

Damn.. but anyways.. i'm on PC-BSD right now.. will explore it for a month..

Debian still contains many old software's (new versions available, but not upgraded yet).

You just need the first CD for a typical Desktop install

yeah thats the reason I moved from Debian

Not bad. Just 5 DVDs for an architecture.

You need debian backports and debian volatile repositories if you want OpenOffice 3.0, VLC 0.9, etc BTW.
