I've repartitioned my hard disk so that I can fit the newest Red Hat Linux 7.2 on my hard disk. But the burned cd's that I have are useless. It's true that you get what you pay for. 12 80min. CD-R's for $12 is just not worth it folks. Now I'm Linux-less for another day. God have mercy on my soul. How will I survive.

I burned it at a nice slow 4x and I bought garbage cd's cause I was desperate for Linux. Serves me right.

I'll head off today to see what RadioShack as. They should have some decent CDR's. At least they'll be better than the ones I have now. Not a successful burn with them yet. And I've burned 4 of them. Grrrrrr.

better yet, a 100 pack of 80min CDRs for $36.95.... $0.37 a cd!

My friend got a ripping deal of 50 3inch CDRs for something like $25. it may not sound like a bad deal but they only hold 150mb (I think) so he paid for the coolness factor.

Those tiny CD's are awesome!

...Except they have close to no use...

Lol, if they were cheaper, those things would be my main kinda CD! I rarely burn stuff larger than 100meg, i only do when i'm *NOT* copying games...

(Note to mods: I said NOT!! see, i'm not promoting it, just promoting the fact that copying stuff is BAD, not good!
