"This howto offers a simple way of creating DVD images of Debian or Ubuntu http/ftp repositories. Ubuntu doesn't offer DVDs ready to download with its main, universe, multiverse and/or restricted repositories. With the contents of this howto you can do it yourself. Having the Ubuntu or Debian repositories on DVD can be useful for those users who don't have access to the Internet where they have their Ubuntu installed but have access somewhere else to download the repository and build and burn the DVDs."

As impressive as it is, Universe is not supported by Canonical. It's community supported, which I bet usually means taken straight from Debian.
So here's hoping Ubuntu kills off Debian quickly, Debian is dying/not relevant, Ubuntu has so much software etc. etc.[/sarcasm]
If Debian topples under its weight, hopefully Canonical can step up and support Universe. Otherwise They will have done a lot of harm. Bit OT I know, but it's on my mind with so many people hyping Ubuntu and denigrating Debian. They both have their place, so preferable they can continue to exist (and I think they will)
