Hi, all! I want to make a suggestion. Many persons like me have only a 14400 modem, without CDROM and/or sound-card. Here from Brazil, the connection speed to ftp.debian.org is below 0.4 kbps. And the worst is that the other mirrors I tried, like farofa.ime.usp.br (wich is about 10 km from here) are more slow (!).
When I have to do a download of a 2.0 Mb updated debian package, my connection bill increases tremendously! :-) So, I think that a good thing would be a bin-diff distribution. When a package is updated from, say, 2.0.3-2 to 2.0.3-5, a bin-diff distribution can decrease very much that bill. Instead of downloading a 2.0 Mb new package, I probably want to make a 100 kb download. The time to execute the undiff is very less than that of download. I saw that there is a diff distribution for sources. Another to the binaries isn't much dificult, specially in rex, is it? That's all. Some suggestion?
