CD-based Linux (was: Re: [NBLUG/talk] OpenOffice 1.1 ISO has arrived...)

[Lincoln Peters]

I think that most CD-based Linux distributions fit on 650MB (74 minute) 
CD's, while a few might require 700MB (80 minute) CD's.  Until now, I hadn't 
heard of 90-minute CD's at all, so I doubt any popular Linux distros 
(CD-based or otherwise) require them.

I also have two CD burners (one is 20x, the other 8x) at home that I can use 
to burn CD's.  Are you offering to donate CD-R media?
