i feel the same way. . .however, i think that the dl is a good option if you
are not sure that you're going to be using linux full time. myself, i have a
fast connection and a machine that will run it, so for right now i am
downloading it just to see if i like it/what i can do with it/etc. if i
decide that i really like it, AND am going to use it often, AND have $20
free, then i will definately send in for the full cd ;-)
