What the heck is that? A pig looking at the golden gate bridge? What does it mean?

I wonder how many people were still using the CD sized image. I'm guessing not very many, and with the size constraints, Canonical were probably itching to get rid of it.

I would rather not have to resort to that sort of stuff here on HN.

This is the best comment I have seen today. Thanks for making me smile :)

Back when I did some small scale sysadmin work, I found that our CD/DVD burners were a lot more reliable as CD burners than as DVD burners. This seemed to be true both of the older Dell ones we had and the newer generic-brand ones. I had much better luck using CDs for basic installs and then fetching additional stuff from the net than trying to use DVDs.

- I also remember the CD burners to be more reliably, but that is my memory from maybe 5 years ago, I almost always use USB sticks these days.

- For local deployments (or even repeated installs due to tinkering-reasons), the best thing to have is a local http/ftp proxy (apt-get install squid).

You have a funny take on it, but it's actually a guy flipping over a table.

I always thought it was a person who crashed their skateboard into a wall!
