Free Ubuntu Arrived
To all concerned - I just got my 10 free Ubuntu CD's! It's been 2.5 months but they got here. So if you ordered them, they will come. Wow!

I have had several deliveries of Ubuntu and Kbuntu....I hand them out all the time. It seems to be a really good distro....I have been installing it on several of my friends computers..or their kids computers. There parents are tired of the kids always playing games...so I slap Ubuntu and apt-get KDE. Then I give the parents the CD I ordered...

I even had me ship the 64bt version...I have that runnning on a couple of clients..

It's good to know that they do come---eventually.

It's good to hear the cd's do finally arrive..of course by the time you receive them a new version will be out already.

True, but from my understanding, one can upgrade from one version to another, rather than having to download/install the latest version .iso.

I could be wrong.

You're right AvvY, you can update the apt-get sources.list and I think there's a command to do it too, "dist-upgrade".
