Awesome.Funny because I went there the other day to see if I could order and signed up to be notified by email when order were being taken. I haven't gotten an email yet, so I heard it first on digg!I guess these orders won't be sent until the release is out?
Just got my 5.04 discs last week... which were ordered who knows how many months ago when that was new.... you can expect to get these a good six months from now. .. meh
"Yeah, this is true... things like this would probably be better left off the front page of Digg.com"The more interest in Ubuntu and GNU/Linux, the better.true but this puts link directly to get the free cd's would proly be beter if it was a link to there main page and said you could get free cd's
i just tried installing kubuntu under virtual pc 7 on my mac mini and it gave a kernel panic. also some error junk about apci not functional. granted its not the nicest environment to be installing linux under, but i was slightly dissapointed. i'll give it a try under a regular pc sometime but i was not impressed with the installation method, it was very hands-off and that is unatractive to me coming from gentoo. hmm, i might have to give gentoo a try on my vp7 mac mini partition. =)

Something doesn't feel right. Why isn't the .org page updated as well. I'm holding off. I might be paranoid. But it's better to be safe than sorry.

I ordered 20 copies of the previous version about 3 months ago and they never came. I hope these ones do.
