Besides, fullsize CDs are cheaper than miniCDs. I like the miniCDs only for the coolness factor. Or is that geek factor?

I just wanted to mention that a lot of older CDROM drives don't like miniCDs and business card sized CDs (or at least don't seem to boot from them). So even though DamnSmallLinux does fit on a miniCD, go ahead and burn it on a full-sized CD for those older laptops that still have CDs.
I think its both geek and coolness factor.
When someone in a movie like "Mission Impossible", or a show like "X-Files", wants to transport electronic data, they invariably use a miniCD to do so. More likely a miniDVD, but they generally look the same as a miniCD and thus the coolness/geek factor. You never see Smoking Man or Tom Cruise juggling a jewel case or DVD case, its always something small and easily palmed like a miniCD/DVD.
