You order have gratis on cd or dvd some of the following distributions: SuSE, Fedora, Mandriva, Gentoo, Debian, Knoppix.

People who like ubuntu, kubuntu etc... go HERE

And dont forget to support them ....

I only see the ability to obtain DVDs, not CDs, did I miss something?

^I think Ubuntu 6.06 only comes on DVD's, because the CD's were the biggest expense for Ubuntu/Canonical, Inc. EDIT: The point is that it's cheaper to send 1 DVD than 5 CD's.

I usually order 5 CD's whenever there's a new version, and give them to friends, and 'forget' them at the school library. :p

i have requested the free cd a while a go nothing has came yet :/

yeah me to, dmn...
but the Ubuntu CD`s have come...
someone know other site like that post it

i personally enjoy ordering free ubuntu cd's because i can run the live cd'sstraight on any system, i take them to classes wtih me, and in my spare time run them on some lab computers and cluster jsut for fun.

shipit.ubuntu.com is good, I requested 10cds and they came in about 4-6 weeks later. I also got FREE stickers!

Oh noes. I didn't get any stickers. Otherwise the service was great, no problems during the shipping and they arrived in a month (ordered 10 CDs).

Yeah, as a beginner I've dowloaded ubuntu from ubuntu's website, a live CD version. But it is nice that you can install to your system later when you like it.... And I like it...

update: I got my Ubuntu CDs, my *cough* stickers ,
and I am happily running it out of my P3 box. One up for Ubuntu!.
Oh, btw, it might be out of topic, but uhmm where should I go for cheap memories (the old kind - sdram 100 or 133 - 256 or 512 sticks) ?
Cheers!

Ubunto is the only one that works now. Seems the other service was overwhelmed with requests.
