A hard-copy of the source code and some punch cards, bwa ha ha!
personally, I prefer single-CD distros...1 app for each purpose and to heck with the whole "kitchen sink" bit...the sink is overkill and so are many distros...it's just TOO hard to go through that BIG list and pick out ONLY one app for each purpose.
But I understand others like it differently. So let's help all of these guys who make distros and tell them what sort of distro/install we like the best, hmm?
I like dvd's,
because my ISP sometimes fails on me
So 1 dvd can hold alot of "essential" programs i otherwise have to download
(except for those multimedia-updates )
I went for the network install CD. I don't even have floppy support compiled in my kernel and I like to choose what to install and downloading doesn't take too long to get all the up-to-date stuff installed in one go
