Get A Free Ubuntu 9.10 CD Through The Post

Lifehacker AU

If the details of Ubuntu 9.10 have you salivating to give it a whirl but you don’t fancy chewing up your download limit, don’t forget that Ubuntu does offer an option to get a CD shipped for free.

As the Shipit page for Ubuntu points out, delivery for this service can take up to 10 weeks, and they do ask people to think carefully before using the option (a polite way of saying “don’t hit us for a free CD if you can download it from work for nothing”). However, for regional users on slow connections, this choice could make sense.

      It’s still an option for first-time users though.

    I’ve signed up for this twice (years apart) and no CDs ever arrived. Has anyone ever actually *got* a CD from this??

    Back at Ubuntu 6.something, I got some Ubuntu CDs delivered- to Bolivia, South America. I was pretty stoked that they got through the post.
