Thread: Free Ubuntu CD - Free Shipping

Hi all,

Do you want to try Ubuntu in your PC/laptop? But don’t have the CD at home?

Don’t worry…

You can get those original, more attractive, pressed CD(s) for free, even without paying the shipping charges.

Here’s what one has to do.

1. Go to launchpad.net and register yourself.
2. Go to ShipitUbuntu and enter the details.
3. Just wait for a week or two! (Without patience, nothing works :-)

Any doubts??? Contact me.

I got the CDs in 10 days.

Kind Regards,
Pothi Kalimuthu.

Yes you ll get the cd within 2 weeks ..... Absolutely free .... Free Shipping ...

yes you can get ubuntu cd shipped free of charge but i will really not advice to use ubuntu without basic knowledge of linux. one can not enjoy working on ubuntu till the time person is comfortable with linux and commands as there are lot of applications which run on commands only and to update ubuntu you need to go to terminal and even to connect a DUN you need terminal

yes this is the only part which has prevented me from making the switch...

Awe shucks, u got all the commands and instruction in the internet .....Its not like i went for a linux course or anything .....Its very easy to learn ...

And for new hardware u dont need any drivers ...and it comes with built in C++,JAVA,UNIX etc compilers

And dont anybody know about the LIVE CD


U can use Linux without installing it in your computer ! by booting directly from CD

Thanx for the information Pothy... Seems u've started the real work... It would be nice if u make a guide for installation & basic work... or provide links to good online tutorials...

If I don't wanna wait that long... do I've the option to download it from somewhere?

I agree Eddy thats the best thing in ubuntu, you can work on OS without installing it on system means you can run it using disc

I have tried. But did't complete the installation. First you download a small program and that program will download and install Ubundu. They say it can be used like a windows application ad work like Ubuntu. The requirements are 256 mb RAM, 5 GB hard disk and Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista.

This is how the program screen looks like.



BTW. itsmemad they also provide torrent downloads for Ubuntu.

Nice information mate, i will try this as soon as my internet starts working at home

There are a lot many applications provide by the Ubuntu community for programmers,students,project managers...
One thing i would suggest is please make sure u have a internet connection b4 installing a Ubuntu on your system if are new to it. Having internet makes it easier to install the soft-wares if you are new to Linux..

The main difference is server edition doesn't have a GUI!. Everything should be done in terminals.

Wubi is a real installation, the only difference is that Ubuntu is installed within a file as opposed to being installed within its own partition. Thus we spare you the trouble of creating a free partition for Ubuntu.


For more deatails
Wubi - Ubuntu Installer for Windows

hi pothi..i am interested! as i said before freebies is good..so is it still available up to this date? just curious if there is any expiration of the offer..i will check the link you provided here to avail those ubuntu cds..

^^AFAIK its not available any more. Got two versions when it was available long time back though. Even got a Netbeans CD from Sun.

To run linux inside windows you can also use andlinux
andLinux.org -- Run Linux natively inside Windows
This version of linux runs natively inside windows. You just need to install it like any other software. Some settings and you are done! Great for learners, who don't want to completely switch to linux, but learn *nix like OSs.
