Canonical is probably the last sane Linux company that still has the guts to provide free OS CDs with every release.
Apparently, they are joining the rival gang as I got to see this message on Ship It:
Demand for Ubuntu CDs is very high, and we’re trying to ensure that we have enough CDs for those who really need one. We’ve noticed that you’ve already received CDs of several previous Ubuntu releases. You can help us ensure the continued availability of Ubuntu CDs by
upgrading to the new release without a CD
downloading your own CD for free
becoming an Ubuntu member by contributing to Ubuntu, and thereby becoming eligible for more CDs
Thanks for your support of Ubuntu!
I guess they discovered somehow that I can live without my single free CD.
It’s a shame really. They used to send multiple CDs earlier on. Then they moved to a single CD per account. Now, I get none. Not too concerned. But it was always nice to have the official branded Ubuntu CD around.
Oh !What a terrible thing !I havn't made any request before !Why?
If Canonical does not have enough CDs ,you can tell us your CDs are not enough for every applicant ,but not tell us we have already received CDs of several previous Ubuntu releases !
Now I doubt Canonical's sincerity for sending Ubuntu CDs!
It's a Scam !
