[Charan]

[chatterjeesayan]

Ubuntu is great,I was talking about Shipit?
BTW,what did they send...a CD,and a paper cover?And how long did it take to reach your door since placing the order?

[arunks]

[~Phenom~]

I have received many times and everytime within month. They are really doing a great job. Hats off to them.

[Choto Cheeta]

If u understand the value then I suggest, all off u who has capability to download, dont order, rather download...

as it will help them to reach towards those who doesnt have option of Downloading !!!!

[Charan]

^^ I order a few ( max 5 ) and distribute it among friends Giving a CD-R didnt impress many of my friends and many never used it atleast one. Giving a original CD with the cover made a good impression about Linux and ubuntu and they tried it . But this time I just got one CD

[saurabh kakkar]

i have received ubuntu 7.04 within 2 weeks and kubuntu 7.04 in one week time .
i really appreciate there effort to bring Linux to masses

I understand that , but I ordered it at time I was not having Broadband but dialup NETONE 56k. Now , i dont order anymore . i downloaded both fiesty and edgy instead of ordering.

[praka123]

^as above.i have ordered and got in a month or so ubuntu 5.04 hoary hedge of 10 copies which i distributed in a college.
Honestly shipit is valid for dial-up and bandwidth starved countries.hopes ppl don t misuse them.

[slugger]

arrre yaaar

if so many of u have ordered it den y is nobody telling me ddiff betn 2cd edi and 3 cd ed
shud not b 2 difficult 2 b answered by those who recieved them

also guys do dey callup on ur ph 'cause i think i mistyped mine

[prasad_den]

ddiff betn 2cd edi and 3 cd ed

I'm not aware of anything like that... I had received ubuntu 6.06 and 7.04 thro shipit and all were 1 CD editions only... And no, they have never called me on phone.. only direct postal delivery..

[rajivnedungadi]

The first time I got it was in 2005, the 4.10 version, which was 2 CDs, later i got copies of 5.10 which was a two CD set too...later it was single CD 6.06 and then now 7.04 (single CD)

It normally takes two weeks to 2 months after u order but you surely do get the same 100% of the times

[ThinkFree]

I got in 25 days. They send it through post

[Sukhdeep Singh]

3 Times, in 15 days

[chatterjeesayan]

Yes,persons having download facilities shouldn't use Shipit.But I've ordered just one CD of Ubuntu,Edubuntu and Kubuntu because of two reasons....a)Curiosity and b>running low on bandwidth(using Home250 plan)...
