the gnu software would require a cd-rom-of-the-month club to keep it reasonably up to date. (you could put C news on there too I suppose.) given this relatively short half life of gnu releases, it would seem to me to be problematic to get volume high enough to cover initial mastering costs. well, perhaps a cd-rom-of-the-every-other-month club, or gnu updates quarterly with other things coming out in the intervening months. --Ed
