Dear Debian community Maybe it’s just me, but as a rather new-comer to the Debian world a few things puzzles me.
1: Going to the download section is like being taken 15 years back. Isn’t it time to take the step to move away from the CD/DVD media and move into the USB Flash drive arena? I know the CD/DVD images also work on USB but maybe it’s time to actually stop calling it CD/DVD images? And I also see you can download 640MB images....where’s the floppy images? (sorry for my sarcasm ). I mean I just bought a 8GB USB flash drive for less than 5$! I’m not saying the images should not be DVD compatible, but make the USB the primary media in guides/naming etc….and perhaps make a link at the bottom of the download page(s) saying “Are you using DVD media, read *here*” if that need some extra guidance.….don’t let the vast majority be bothered with it…..just my opinion. 2: I find it rather difficult and troublesome to find the image you want. When going to Debian.org it takes a long time to find your image. You have to go true several pages, reading a lot of text and doing a lot of mouse-clicking. Try to go to www.ubuntu.com and compare the download process?….I think you’ve made it exceptional complex. Yes, you might support more image options, but still! And calling it CD/DVD images isn’t helping either….when you’re sitting with a flash drive in your hand, as I believe the majority do. Best regards Brian, Denmark
