Being that the ISO images are rather large, it might be nice to have a
duplicate of each current ISO available that is the gzip version. gzip
is suggested instead of bzip2 because gzip can be decompressed with
standard tools on most any machine, including with winzip on windows
(unfortunately, I'm one of those people that do not have access to a
burner on a linux machine). I'd strongly recommend using "gzip -9" since
maximum compression is important. With 300 MB files, it'll probably take
some time for compression to complete, but imagine how much it'll pay
off against a slow Internet download. I'm hoping to set a slow computer
downloading tonight from a windows machine, so I suspect compression
could cut down the time by many hours.
