Thanks to Ubuntu Community

I have requested a free Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Linux Distribution) CD on August 19, 2006 on their official site and received it on September 12, 2006. I was wondering whether they send it or not. I am using a 64 kbps connection with download restrictions and downloading of a CD takes hours.

Fortunately, I have received that CD and it was shipped from Netherlands. I am very much interested in Open Source Software and uses lot of them including Firefox, Thunderbird, and some software released under GPL. After browsing a lot of distributions, I thought that Linspire and Ubuntu are the best distros for the Linux newbies. Linspire looks similar to Windows, but it costs $50, so I wanted to give a try to Ubuntu as they were shipping free CDs.

Though system was running slow, it was also similar to Windows operating system. When I digged about Linspire on Digg, I found that sometime ago, Linspire was giving free copies and now that coupons don’t work. You can get it for $20 (actual price is $49.95) using the coupon “TryOutLinux” at checkout.

Have a look at:
