I have been trying to talk myself into learning Ubuntu so I figured I would order a disk to prod myself along. Who can resist a new CD?

I got the disk and 4 stickers today. I guess I'm supposed to promote it now. That all depends on if it kicks my butt or not.

It's completely free by the way if you want a disk and not have to download the ISO. Just took about 4 weeks to get here...

That's pretty cool mate. Good luck getting it up and running.

Hehe, let's say I'm very optimistic at this point. SWF and Serverguy talked me into downloading xUbubtu and I still haven't got around to installing that yet, just burned the ISO so far...

EF - The beauty of that CD you received is that if you are unsure about installing it you can always run it as a live CD which does nothing to your Windows install. You just have to change your boot menu to boot to CD first.

By the way, it works great as a rescue disk if Windows ever crashes on you

Thanks! I think that might be just what I will use it for.

Well, I would've recommended Fedora... not right now since there's an issue with it which creates a pain in the ass.... which I'm not sure if they've resolved it yet or not... so hold out a bit.

You got stickers? no fair when they sent me mine I didn't get any stickers. But it is true what they say some of the best things in life are free.

I've ordered many linux discs from this service. kubuntu and edubuntu offer the same posting which is brilliant for spreading linux. Very good service for what its worth! (free!! :D)
Im using ubuntu atm and its brilliant :D Good luck to you.
