At last, Omer bought a CD-ROM drive.



and now I have a reason to repeat a question which I already asked the 
list members:

What is your recommendation for the best Linux CD-ROM (or CD-ROM set), 
which contains a modern kernel version and other good software?

By the way, my CD-ROM is Toshiba XM-3701B, which claims to have 6.7x 
speed.  It has SCSI interface.  The cost was $570 (not including SCSI 
cable).  It succeeded in working with MS-DOS and Linux 1.1.13.  According 
to the MS-DOS Norton SI benchmarks, the CD-ROM did not cause degradation 
in hard disk performance (the hard disk resides on the same SCSI chain) 
when the CD-ROM is not being used.

I am curious to know if and what benchmarking programs are available 
under Linux (for hard disk and CD-ROM performance - singly and 
simultaneously).

  Cheatware, n.:

  Software which has attractive man-machine interface and which makes you 
  believe that it does something that it does not actually do.  Example:  
  some brands of RAM doubler software.
