Sundar,
ReplyDeleteNice to see Ubuntu blogs from you after a long while.
Offline installers are damn useful in a place like India where most of us do not have unlimited download internet connections.
This is also very useful when you are trying to install Ubuntu on multiple machines or at a cousin's/friend's place.
Only thing is that I think some users might be scared of downloading a file from rapidshare which is infamous for hosting pirated content!
