If cost is a problem, you can ask your 'customers' to bring an empty CD-R in return. regards Wouter -- http://wouter.horre.be/ -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be

Today, one of the people who requested a cd came by and I burned him an Ubuntu and Xubuntu cd, he seemed very happy about it, and I should stop worrying about the printed CD's I guess :p Bert On 1/22/08, Julien Willem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Even with an old account, you can't request more than 2 CD's.

Even with an old account, you can't request more than 2 CD's. I don't have any karma on Launchpad ;) -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Obtaining install cd's
Hoi, You can order CDs for free at shipit.ubuntu.com, you can also buy 20 CDs for about 25€ at https://shop.canonical.com/. But, imho, CD-R are fine for most people. It may even help them to understand the freely-(re)distributable facet of free software, once you explain them it's 100% legal (unlike the Windows CD they got from some friends). There is a "basic" manual for support points at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/SupportPoints On Jan 21, 2008 10:50 PM, Bert Claes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi everyone, > > I've registered myself as an Ubunut support-point, where one can also > obtain installation-cd's.

[Ubuntu-be] Obtaining install cd's
hi everyone, I've registered myself as an Ubunut support-point, where one can also obtain installation-cd's. It seems I am located in an area where there wasn't anyone yet (centre of sint-niklaas), because I've gotten about seven requests already for install-cd's or some explanation. What I was wondering: Is there any way I can get more official install-cds or should I just (as I am doing now) keep on giving out CD-Rs of DVD-Rs with the downloaded ISOs? It seems so "fake" :) Is there a guideline on how to promote Ubuntu for a casual end-user? I am just wondering...
