Hi,
I was wondering whether anyone would be interrested in ordering
Ubuntu/Edubuntu/Kubuntu CDs for the v:5.10 (Breezy Badger) as we did a
while back for the older v:4.
For those who don't know Ubuntu, here's the link : http://www.ubuntu.com/
(I still have a few v:4 CDs for MacIntosh, AMD64 and x86 and they're nice !)
So it might be cheaper (for the Ubuntu people) to ship one larger bunch
of CDs to one person in .lu than ship 10 or 20 isolated CDs.
Of course some prefer to download and burn their own CDs.

Quoting from the Ubuntu website :
<begin quote>
Shipping small numbers of CDs costs almost the same as shipping one, so
please feel free to request multiple CDs to give away and share with
friends.
Ubuntu CDs are made specifically for various types of computers.
* The PC Edition will run on almost all PCs. This includes most
machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and computers that can also
run Microsoft Windows. Choose this if you are unsure.
* The 64-bit PC Edition will run on computers based on the AMD64 or
EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon).
* The Mac Edition will run on Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5
computers including iBooks and PowerBooks.

For those who want to be "counted in", please specify the number of CDs
you want and the type.
thanks
Serge
