Ubuntu CD Redistribution

Monday, August 22, 2005

I got a whole lot of Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary the hedgehog) cds from the Ubuntu free distribution center.

I figure that good should beget good, and so am willing to pass on the free distribution, at my own personal cost. The reason for doing this is that though you do get free cds from Ubuntu’s shipit system, it takes an awfully long time, and what’s not available immediately has very little worth. So I decided to re-ship them. If anyone wants a copy of the live and install disks of Ubuntu 5.04, please leave me a comment with your postal address in it, and I shall ship it to you for free. If you don’t want to leave a comment, then you can email me at mail@carthik.net.

When I was in India, I realized how slow downloads (still) are, and so it’s only fair that people who cannot download the images get the cds easily. I will ship them within a week of receiving the request.

    I have twenty of them myself - got them about a week ago. If anyone here in Bangalore/India wants them, I can do the shipping.

    Just to let you know- for some reason, your blog home page is not showing the comments tags; they show up for individual post pages though.

    Sumant, thanks - I was just working on the site today and so it wasn’t working the best it could all day :)

    Hi Carthik

    am trying to register a research project looking at open source education at tertiary levels here in Zululand, South Africa.

    I just spent the last few hours installing every application that my Plesk control panel offers, which is where I found your name on the word press demo site. Small world, eh?

    Please send some Cd’s to;

    Many thanks.
