[Liverpool] where to get a full distribution in liverpool?

[Chris Neary]

Just out of general interest and blind curiosity (hey, I'm a Linux
user - it goes with the territory), what is the specific need for a
bulky ~5cd distribution? Ubuntu comes on one CD and I consider that to
be a fairly 'full' distro. (That should probably be *half* a CD
actually. They now cram the live 'Desktop' CD with the installable
system too - like Knoppix and its clones)

I'm not being blind to the fact that not everybody has high speed
broadband these days and uses a Debian/apt-based distro. I just
wonder.

Just curious!
