Local CD distribution

We are currently trialling an Australian free mailout of Ubuntu install and live CDs. If you would like an official Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" CD pack, containing both a Live and an Install CD, please send an email to our distributor:

Peter Baker: MailTo(sydneypete@gmail.com)

Standard (32-bit) PC, 64-bit PC and Macintosh PPC are versions available; please specify. Currently, we are only able to send one CD pack per recipient; for greater quantities, please use [https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ the Shipit service]. Please be patient; we're volunteers!

Many thanks to Canonical's ShipIt service for making these CD packs available to us.

Share the love!
