That's totally up to you based on your available hardware, bandwidth  
etc. I will say that I get a lot of "customers", they seem to come in  
spurts though. I've had to throttle my UL bandwidth as it was  
impacting my VOIP phone.

Certainly sounds promising, MythDora devoting a separate iso to the  
Unichrome bodes well too,  I think he was running close to the CD  
size limit and had to eliminate the nVidia etc. stuff to make room  
for the Unichrome, the 2.1 release certainly has a lot of "extras"  
included on the CD, while you can get them from the net it's nice to  
have them right there, and to know that they are the correct versions  
to work with the rest of the distro. Of course if you don't own a  
MediaMVP or an nVidia card then I guess having the software to run it  
is of limited value :-)

A very good idea :-)
