I wonder what are the differences between lsl's (debian) CDs and mine (from 
www.datom.de/debian). In fact, I wonder what are the differences between the 
CDs from all the known vendors.
Does lsl also put KDE, for example, on their (debian) CDs ? I think that it is 
put by the 2 German small vendors that I saw. Does lsl's CDs has the 
experimental directory ?

And if we are on comparing prices for the lsl's (debian) CDs and 
www.datom.de/debian, then www.datom.de/debian ships 3 CDs. The total price I 
paid them is $33. Without jweled boxes it is $7 less, I think. No doubt that 
lsl's CDs cost less. Isn't Cheapbytes even cheaper from lsl ?
And mentioning Cheapbytes: I read that there is going to be an install party 
in the technion. Perhaps Cheapbytes offer about reduced prices for groups who 
purchas even small quantity of CDs deserves some thinking ?
I believe that lsl's CDs quality are better then www.datom.de/debian's, since 
lsl is using, as far as I know, a factory made CDs. While www.datom.de/debian 
is using an ordinarily PC CD writer.

I am still not convienced that www.datom.de/debian does not gives you an extra 
value for the extra $ they cost. I hope so, since I already have their CDs.
