There are several methods of getting Ubuntu, which releases a new version every six months. The current stable version is Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger), which was released in October 2005. You can get it from the following places:

If you have a 64 bit system, you need AMD64 install CD

Order a CD from Shipit

Development versions
As the next Ubuntu release draws closer, versions of it will be released on CD. If you are interested in helping test the release and in reporting or fixing bugs in it, you might wish to install the development release. Note that the development release, especially in the early stages of the cycle when the release is still months away, may be very unstable indeed. If you want to have a stable supported Ubuntu version installed see the stable release information above.
Early in the release cycle, CD images of the development version will not be available. Currently, the Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake "Flight 7" release is available at [http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/ Dapper Flight's] area.
To download daily CD images using jigdo ("Jigsaw Download"), see the JigdoDownloadHowto.
Rsync to get the latest ISO
To get always the latest daily ISO, it will take you everytime 600MB of a download. When you once have the image, rsync just downloads the part which is different between your ISO and the one from the net.
Use this command to synchronize your ISO with the latest version from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/ (don't forget to replace i386 with your CPU)
rsync -v --progress rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily/current/dapper-install-i386.iso dapper-install-i386.iso
Now check the MD5SUM before burn it:
wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/MD5SUMS cat MD5SUMS md5sum dapper-install-i386.iso
