Free Ubuntu Linux CDs

[vern]

Some might have heard of a new Debian based distro making the news. It seems to be becoming very popular, especially after a lot of high profile developers joined the team.

Anyway, check this link out. They are giving out free copies of Ubuntu in x86, AMD64, and PPC platforms. Shipping is free, and you can order as many as you want (within reason). I suggest on person in Cebu get around 30-50 and people can come to you (For those who don't already know each other personally, you also get to personally know each other this way). At least the developers don't have to send to a thousand people in Cebu that are interested.

The link is

(I ordered 30. 15 x86, 5 PPC, 10 AMD64). An acquintance ordered 60CDs and he got them all, so this is pretty legit.

@vern: may i ask..there are so many linux distro's around nowadays...
i was just woderin', in general, what is really the difference between those distro's or what set them apart from other linux distros?

@digitalsuperman ... a Linux system is composed of many different software made by many different developers. A distribution merely packages the software in a nice install. Some Linux distros have set themselves apart because of it's certain advantages, quirks, ets. The following URL will probably do a better job at explaining the major distros ...
