[PLUG] FTP vs CD install: Debian

Downloading full images with Bittorent is about twice
as fast as fetching packages by FTP, and it doesn't
kill the computer--you can use it for other things
while it is downloading. And you can share these
images with a friend not connected to your LAN (and
that's most people) if you emerge from the experience
with the impression that Debian is worthwhile.

Your friend can be given CD-R's. Save the CD-RW's for
yourself--they can be rewritten at least 500 times
(conservative estimate).
