Why can't Ubuntu just ship them official cd's (for the cost-price)?
That would solve most of the shipping problems, means more publicity,
and probably lower production costs in the end because of more cd's
shipped.



I know it sounds a bit strange, shipping cd's to commercial websites
which will ask money for them, but if you think about it for a moment,
I think you will agree that this would only benefit Ubuntu.
