has anyone gottent their hoary cds?
 

I ordered my Hoary Hedgehog CDs in late march on shipit.ubuntulinux.org, and they still havn't arrived. Does anyone know how long this actualy takes? acording to the site, they should've shipped by now. Has anyone recieved their hoary cds?

Same here, no CD's yet --- bummer............

Didn't get mine either. I gave up and downloaded the ISO. Since it just is one 700 meg CD, and everything else is downloaded through the repositories, it isn't any big deal. But I wonder why they bother with the free CD thing if they can't even get them sent out. This distro has a six month release cycle...but it apparently takes a couple months to send out the discs?? It is a nice gesture and all.

Ubuntu on DVD
 

I got an Ubuntu 5.04 DVD with the April 2005 issue of Linux Pro Magazine. I picked up the Magazine at Barnes and Noble. It cost $9 (with membership) or $10 without. The DVD is bootable and worked great. It comes with 2800 packages. Now if I can figure out how to get my WiFi card to work I'll be all set.

I ordered months ago (maybe early March?) and nothing yet. Not a huge deal since I'm on broadband for now... but didn't want to redownload the PPC version for a friend.

Got mine last week. Took a really long time. Half of them are already gone (gave them to my friends). I'll only save one x86 and one PPC for myself ;).

Works great, using it right now ;)

havent gotten mine. im about to just go and download it via bittorrent.

im not complaining or anything, but i think they should have a better shipping system. people will get tired of waiting and use other distros that are easier to download (smaller in size).

I have yet to receive my copies either, but I am sure, being in Canada, that they will be here in the next four weeks. One rule of thumb I keep is, always wait at least eight weeks before worrying, unless there is money involved. :) Then start panicing after six. :D

Other than that, I also could not wait and downloaded the ISO and installed it, removing SuSE 9.2, which I feel was a great move. I am a one OS man. :)

Ubuntu is, so far, the best distro of linux that I have used. I am looking forward to receiving the official discs in the mail. :)

i went ahead and download the ISO and burned it. just my luck, the cds came a few days ago. i was expecting some cheaply burned cds with philips or maxell labels or something, but these are some damn nice cds with some nice cardboard cases, included in the case is a live cd and an install cd. ubuntu rocks!

Not received yet, so I downloaded..

Yeah man! I got mine 3 days ago - It took 2 1/2 months but all 20 came (actually 40 cd's - 20 install and 20 live)
So hang in there, they will eventually arrive......

20? wtf? you running a computer class in a school or something? that's a lot.

Hahah - they say that 10 or 20 costs the same as 1 to ship so order some for your friends - and I did! Postage was $11.00 and it didn't cost me a cent!!!!!!!

surprise in the mail today, for some reason i just recieved 3 more cds. that was strange/random. i didnt sign up for more than 3 (i got 4 the first time, and 3 more now)

I got mine yesterday 4 pack contain Live and Install cds in 1 pack this is my second order took only 1 month from my last shipment.

thanks Ubuntu..
