In my words, "little linux gurus" are your own 5-year-old kids for example.=
=20
And when we, adult people, talk about a "distro", I don't think that they c=
an=20
understand what we mean.

On one hand, "CD" (IMHO) is an easier word for kids because nowadays, kids =
are=20
born with things like that. And you won't have to explain to them what a=20
"distro" is.

On the other hand, the word "distro" may give you an occasion to talk to yo=
ur=20
little kids about GNU/Linux, and of course about your favorite "distros" :-D

I wonder how they called the "coins" in NES Mario ... I played it soooo lon=
g=20
time ago ^^
