[gobolinux-users] GoboLinux 014 snapshot 20071122

[Nathan Middleton]

Personally I don't have a DVD burner, it'd be a shame to see Gobo
start requiring one.  What's probably a better option is a focus on
getting a network-enabled live cd that can then use the online package
and compile database to update the installation.

This is just my personal, unhumble and uninformed opinion :)  It's one
of the features I love about doing netboot with Debian and SUSE
though.
