I wonder how much you will be able to get onto a blu-ray live disk?  The
whole of debian, perhaps?

50 Gigs or so, currently with single layer, the problem is where are you going to get the Blu-ray discs?

Like any new format, the blank media will turn up eventually.

The problem is what happens if the Blu-ray format loses the war? You will have another Betamax on your hands, with no support other than games for the PS3.

I don't think that'll happen; I think it'll just be like it was with "-R" vs "+R", and you'll end up with dual format machines.
