Not only for simplifying the choices of people who download Fedora, but<br>
I think that from a marketing point of view, it is better to have one<br>
product as the default, and focus on advertising this one.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
<br>
</div>So that would make us print both the media sleeve AND a sticker to stick<br>
on the sleeve right away?<br>
<br>
Maybe producing different media sleeves, with what would have been on<br>
the stickers already printed on it would make more sense? :)<br><div class="im">
<br>
</div>Exactly.<br>
<br>
To take an extreme example, if they can figure everything out by<br>
themselves, they won't ask us anything, and we could as well just leave<br>
some media on a table and go doing something else.<br>
<br>
People at a booth add some value, and everything that makes visitors ask<br>
questions should be viewed as a chance to open the conversation and<br>
transform them into users, or even contributors.<br><div class="im">
<br>
</div>That's what we've been doing for years in France.<br>
<br>
The amount of people asking for the install DVD is so small that we<br>
simply burn it on demand when someone really wants it and can't download<br>
it.<br>

i believe the NEW users still confused even after burning the image. because they will say "if this copy has a GUI desktop, what the version does then??", or "it seems the other version doesn't have a GUI at all!!".<br>
the default version should be the DVD version. other options can be the KDE live media & GNOME live media. if the user doesn't know what is KDE or GNOME, then, he should read a wiki page that helps him to understand the meaning of desktop.<br clear="all">
