Guys,
If you want an Ubuntu Hardy Heron CD, just go to the Sun.Star Publishing Inc. office on P. del Rosario St., near the University of San Carlos main campus.

Just tell the guard that you will be going to the newsroom to claim the CD. In the newsroom, look for editorial assistant William Rama, the CDs are in a sleeve tacked to his cork board. Leave your name and e-mail address to acknowledge that you got the CD. Please feel free to pass it on.

I also have a handful of stickers. If you claim the CD in the afternoon, I can give you an Ubuntu sticker

Kevin, I agree, Ubuntu is more than just a replacement for a pirated Windows. But, it is also that. And for many people, that can be a lure toward trying an open source system. Of course Ubuntu is an operating system and does not need another operating system. But the latest Ubuntu comes with Wubi, which allows it to be installed in Windows. For many people, this a good way of trying out the system first for some time. While you can check the system out using the live CD, installing Ubuntu in Windows using Wubi allows you to try out a persistent Ubuntu install.

Max,
I just received my Ubuntu 8.04 and I do a clean upgrade of my PC system. Ubuntu 8.04 really rocks in my system. Compiz fusion is great. Ubuntu is so easy, I can set it up with all in all in it in just an hour (depending on the connection of your internet).

You can email me on how you can get it. I have lots of Ubuntu CDs (Ubuntu & Kubuntu 7.10).

Max,
I just assembled my own PC. I powered it with Ubuntu 7.10 using the Live CD and viola! Ubuntu all the hardware of my PC, no need for an additional restricted drivers to be installed. And this is what I am using now. I encouraged everyone to use ECS 945GCT-M2/1333 Motherboard. This is powered by Intel 945GC chipset just to be on the safe side.

regarding your article on sunstar, i really think ubuntu is not a pirated OS replacement. it is something that gives freedom to the users.
–at kelly–

ubuntu has its own base. it does not require other operating systems for it to work. ubuntu is an operating system, just like windows…

****moving to SUSE, dont like debian.. ^^****

Aitor,
Thanks for the update. I’ve just enabled it. Will still try working with my subversion repositories.

For all those requesting CDs, my request from Ubuntu still hasn’t arrived but I’ve burned a copy. I’ll add a comment here on how you can get the CD.

Kelly,
Ubuntu can be installed in any desktop or laptop. With the latest version, you can now install it under Windows.
