Installing Linux

[DeeBye]

How about a free Ubuntu Linux CD?  I'm no Linux nerd, but I've read that Ubuntu is a very newbie-friendly Linux package.

Anyhoo, here's another freebie -- Ubuntu Linux CD shipped to you free of charge!.  You have to register at their website to take advantage of the offer.  You can even request multiple Ubuntu Linux CDs to distribute to your friends and neighbours.

Someone try this out and let me know how it goes.  I know nothing of Linux.

edit: I got curious and signed up and requested some CDs.  I'll let you know how it goes.

BUMP FROM BEYOND!

I got a package of Ubuntu Linux CDs -- 30 of them! This freebie delivered.



Pictured are 10 copies each of the Intel/i386 version, AMD64 version, and PowerPC version. The Intel/i386 version came with both an Install CD and a LiveCD (whatever that is).

I haven't attempted installing this, but I'll give it a go just as soon as I find a freebie to replace my old Compaq Celeron 600 piece of crap's harddrive.

I'll trade someone 29 copies of Ubuntu Linux for a ~30 GB HD. Takers?
