"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."

"""
To get all of universe you have to burn (I think) 3 or 4 DVDs worth of packages.
"""
Which is pretty amazing, when you stop and think about it.
Between Main and Universe: 21,000 packages of Free and Open Source software.
We get so used to the fact that we become desensitized.
We've come a long way, baby, to get where we got to today.

I think I'm reading right that Ubuntu doesn't have a DVD d/l?.
That's funny because after new releases I wait a few days and boom...an ISO DVD img is waiting for me on the site. It's buried in the site but it's there.
