A couple of comments:

I believe DJGPP is also on the Simtel CDROM (at least it used to be). That
may give people more flexibility.

Also note that since Walnut Creek only updates their CD's every 3 months or
so, files may be a bit stale.

It's certainly a convenient way to get DJGPP, though. I speak from experience.
