Well I think we've two points here for discussion:
1. CD vs. DVD
A DVD has a lot of space but they're useless without a DVD reader and ATM
data DVDs are not realy in a wide use. When I look around we don't have a DVD
reader in the Office (small german telefone company and ISP) and I've only
one at home in my desktop computer. So a DVD would be useless for me cause the
only box with a DVD reader I own is running testing/unstable. Maybe other
people have more money and can purchase a DVD reader for every box they own.
Another point to mention here is that we aim with this CD/DVD at a group of
people who are willing to change from another OS to Debian so in most cases
Debian will take the backdoor and often the backdoor is a slow old box without
state of the art hardware, like DVD readers, just standing around as a print
server or internet gateway at home. (I found my way to Debian with the LT CD
from 2000 and a PI 133 as a printserver in the office)
2. What does it cost and how much money do we have?
Do you have any information about the costs for DVD vs. CD?
I would stay another year with CDs or choose a dual way with CDs and DVDs
if it's not to expensive and too confusing for the visitors.
