Re: free linux cds at home
dude I have been receiving cds and dvds from ubuntu for the last 1 year and they come from Netherland and u dont need to pay a single penny for it.
__________
anybody knows about any other software cds being shipped for free other than Ubuntu?

Um.. Ubuntu Installation is only One CD..thats why.. It Doesn't need 5 CDs cuz Everything else are in the Repositories.. all you need to do is "apt-get <package-name>" (You'll need Internet Connection)

because drapper comes with long term support and indian sense most ppl just order as it is *free*.
what ubuntu wiki says
Quote:
|
Canonical COO Jane Silber has announced the plan for ShipIt, once Edgy has been released. The current plan is to continue to ship Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, due to it being a long supported release, while Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) will be available for download only. Approved LoCo teams can request 6.10, however, and will be sent out a large bundle of CDs to distribute, as well as distributors that can further spread the Ubuntu message. Also, in order to help keep ShipIt running, Jane has announced that anyone wanting to purchase large numbers from ShipIt may do so, at EUR 1.50/CD in a minimum order size of about 100. If you or your company would like to help distribute large quantities of Ubuntu CDs, contact [MAILTO] Christina.Armstrong@canonical.com directly.
