| 348906 | 2005-04-26 06:49:00 | I recieved today, 10 copies of Ubuntu linux, all the way from the US of A. But it seems I have been sent the Intel x86 version instead of AMD64. So, I have 9 cd's to give away (1 taken already). You can of course request your own copies, but this may take a while. I ordered mine 2mths+ ago. It has a 'live' cd so you can try it before you install it. If anyone would like a copy, i'll send me a stamped self-addressed envelope (I'd rather not pay for postage) and i'll send you a copy. The CD packet is 145mm(l) x 5mm(w) x 125mm(h), so you will need an envelope big enough to accomodate this. For my details email me at matthewschofield2001 ~at~ hotmail ~dot~ com. |

| 348907 | 2005-04-26 06:52:00 | Why not donate them to various places like internet cafes/comp shops so they can copy and redistribute? | Edward (31) | ||
| 348908 | 2005-04-26 07:22:00 | Well that's an idea. | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
| 348909 | 2005-04-26 07:28:00 | Just got mine today, are they the new release version of ubuntu 5.04 (?) or the old version (I would check myself but im lazy) :D | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 348910 | 2005-04-26 07:28:00 | a few people also want them on the trademe fourms | Prescott (11) | ||
| 348911 | 2005-04-26 07:32:00 | Have just got my 10 copies today. Took that long I forgot all about them and the postage was from Netherlands so wife was very suspicious, (so was I). Cautiously opened and was nicely surprised to find 10 well packaged CD's. I am going to distribute them at work. Must say the Live CD works well, nice way to entice install. I am actually posting from it now, 5 minutes after putting it in machine, no setup required via adsl router. Will be interesting to see if it recognises the other hardware connected. I am in Hamilton so if anyone is interested let me know. |
