Distributions with complete repository on dvds


Hello community!

I want to know which distributions are available as a set of dvds, like debian (3,4 dvds). Having a complete (or nearly complete) copy of the repositories on dvds is important to me because I don't have a fast internet connection to download big packages (which most of the times need big dependencies as well). That's one of the big reasons of why I use debian. But I will install linux on some other laptops and I'd like to try some other flavors of linux, like suse or ubuntu. Anyone knows of other distributions with the repositories available as set of dvd iso images?

Thanks.

Paulo

Slackware has a quite large and varied selection of software on either 3 CDs or 1 DVD.
