Canonical COO Jane Silber has announced the plan for ShipIt, once Edgy has been released. The current plan is to continue to ship Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, due to it being a long supported release, while Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) will be available for download only. Approved LoCo teams can request 6.10, however, and will be sent out a large bundle of CDs to distribute, as well as distributors that can further spread the Ubuntu message. Also, in order to help keep ShipIt running, Jane has announced that anyone wanting to purchase large numbers from ShipIt may do so, at EUR 1.50/CD in a minimum order size of about 100. If you or your company would like to help distribute large quantities of Ubuntu CDs, contact [MAILTO] Christina.Armstrong@canonical.com directly.

it's better to download anywayz. their shipping takes a long time to reach us (4-6 weeks). i prefer downloading. but what about those with dial-up?

 

[kalpik]

^^ People with dial up can hardly cope up with all the downloading one has to do to customize ubuntu!
