Here I thought that I had to be doing something wrong, trying all day to burn a CD in both windows and Linux, with no success until I accidentally put in a blank DVD, and that burned. That was last night. They need to download an image and test it when they put it up on the site.

Last time they made a distro they were cramming everything in, then had to go back out and yank a bunch of stuff. End result there was a ton of crap and they yanked some of the good utilities. If you can just use a DVD, I recommend that.
