How to get an Ubuntu CD for FREE - Kharnage - 02-04-2010
Hey guys today I revived my free copy of Ubuntu 9.10 CD in the mail. It was 100% free, I didn't have to pay the shipping fee or for the CD itself. I received it in a few weeks, I don't remember, but it takes a longer time if you live farther away from the Ubuntu place.
I'll show you how to get the CD for free.
Step 1 : Go to https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
Step 2 : Decide if you want a Desktop or Server edition
Step 3 : Make a quick account with Launchpad if you don't have one already.
Step 4 : Complete the registration
Step 5 : Fill in the needed information
Step 6 : Click "Submit Request"
Step 7 : You're done
PROOF
I took pictures with my webcam so I had to use the site "cameroid"
I don't know why the pictures are like reversed or something, but that's ok.

They also send stickers. (or used to at least)

I didn't receive stickers with my CD

That sucks, i think i did pay for mine, that maybe it, or maybe they just stopped. I know i have them.

I got stickers with 9.04, but i didn't get stickers with 9.10.
Takes a while to arrive in the mail depending where you live, easy to just download the .iso image and burn it.

That's only if you have fast internet, otherwise it's easier just getting the CD. I don't have much interest in Ubuntu, but it's always nice to have to copy just in case.

Thanks! I should be doing this today, if I can figure out how to install it on my mac.

This should help a lot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromMacOSX

If you download it as a torrent (which is legal), it's much faster.

What's wrong with burning it to a CD?
