Hi Robert,

How about a CD distribution (for users of their
language) AND a DVD distribution (for developpers &
advanced users).
Because we are dealing with the huge world market for
the years to come, flexibility and choices should be
of high priority.
Great to hear from you and your work!

Regards,
