People laughed at me when I said I wanted a desktop and a laptop with aDVD drive. No one uses those anymore, they taunted me. Well, I was visiting my brother and sil, and good friends of theirs hadgiven them a telescope. They live on the 17th floor of an 18 storybuilding, on a corner apt with a balcony. And they are complicated. Setup especially. And guess what, included inthe box was a DVD. Their computers would not play it but mine could. Sothere. It turns out, the telescope is still for sale new, a couple hundreddollars iirc, but the file dates on all the DVD files was from 2008. It included weblinks to the manufacturer, for warranty registration etc.and none of the links still worked, It also included the user manual inPDF, which is good because one of their new dogs** ate up part of thepaper manual. I sent the pdf to each of their email accounts, thoughafaict neither reads his or her email. But if they complain later, I'llsend another copy. LOL **The dogs are maltepoos. Combination of a poodle with a malted milk.

If you want the old time goodness today I think you need to go with Arch or Slackware. Personally the thrill of crafting an OS from the command line wore off for me long ago. I've got better things to do from a bash prompt.
