- Great Product, but Only Buy if You Must
I like this Ubuntu build.It seemed to suit me well, and since I didn't know anyone with a copy, use a limited Internet speed PC, and wanted to receive the DVD free second day, I chose to purchase free Ubuntu 8.04 on Amazon.com.If you find yourself in a similar situation, avoid getting bogged down with the philosophical aspects of life and just go for it; Let's not get weird about it.With a price tag showing under [...] bucks for open-source use on an unlimited number of systems, please do not ...

Kubuntu Ubuntu Ver. 8.10 and Linux Training Library 2DVD+CD

Rating: - Rate the product not Amazon
I have read several "reviews" here and find one at least to be simply silly. Note to complainers about the charge here for Ubuntu: If you don't want to support the folks who actually go to the trouble of making a professionally produced installable DVD, take your $13 elsewhere. You are only making yourself look stupid - like you need this review to do that.
There are myriad people who do not want to be bothered with downloading a huge file and then figuring out how to make an installable CD ... Read More
