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

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

[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...

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).

When you log with a new account you get: 1 Ubuntu CD (1 PC Edition) 1 Ubuntu CD (1 64-bit PC Edition) One for me, One for a friend 2 Ubuntu CDs (1 PC Edition, 1 64-bit PC Edition) When I log in with the account where I got some karma with on launchpad I get this message: The Ubuntu community would like to thank you for your contributions to the Ubuntu project. In recognition of this, we offer you an expanded set of options for your ShipIt request. And an additional option to order 10 Ubuntu CDs (8 PC Edition, 2 64-bit PC Edition) That is, for Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)... greetings, Jens -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
