Thanks to your experience I called them to receive the CD. Since I
received the laptop last week I was not expecting to be asked for money 
but he ask me to boot windows to show me how to burn it myself
(otherwise it would cost me). It confused me a few seconds since
I am not able to boot windows, but then I realized that I had no CD
burner in my x40 (or it's hidding very well). Finally I got the CD sent
to me for free.

Two advices for futur x40 owners:
1. If you have a CD burner, burn the CD before installing linux.
2. Call soon after receiving your laptop to receive the CD for free.
