Whereas Slackware only *requires* 1 cd, yes, you can get all 5, but you
only need 1.  Look, as has been stated, this is pointless, because nobody,
or almost nobody, is going to be persuaded by this argument to change
distros, I certainly won't, so apart from correct inaccuracies, what's the
point?  Yes, I know, I've got it wrong too.

Cheers.
