<fear>Perhaps in a few months/years they'll remove the "0 $" option?!

I'm not sure if this "no CD/DVD" strategy is a good option for Ubuntu.
know so many people who does get started with Linux by using Ubuntu as
their first distro. Some of them need it to be easy. Without a CD/DVD image
could make it harder for some users. I know that USB flashs are easy to
use, but it can cause some troubles for some users on "how to burn this
image on my flash usb?", etc.

Anyway, let's wait and see the news about it on the next weeks.
