Well,release notes for 2.1.5-GAMMA say of the 960627 SNAP,
"a few decidedly fatal kernel bugs were found",so I doubt
that such a CDROM would sell well.I think the plan is to
proceed from GAMMA to RELEASE within a month...RELEASE
will be a CDROM.

(and only after 2.1.5 is RELEASEd would I subscribe to future SNAP CDROMs)
