  i’m not sure. most people at my school use a laptop at their main computer, so they couldn’t use an ubuntu DVD anyways. i personally prefer dual boot over single boot

    … did everyone remove the media drive off laptops? There are also external media drives.

      New laptops don’t have optical drives. I don’t think there’s a single manufacturer that still has them.

      Hell, most new computer cases (much to my chagrin) don’t even have 5 1/4" bays.

      I think it has been probably more than 5 years since I have seen an optical drive on a new laptop.
