Free Xubuntu CDs now available

July 31, 2009 —

It is now possible to order free Xubuntu CDs (see the Get Xubuntu-page). These CDs are generously provided free of charge by On-Disk.com as part of their Quick Ship free disc service, providing an alternative to Ubuntu’s ShipIt service which does not provide Xubuntu. This means potential users only have to pay shipping costs, avoiding having to download Xubuntu over a slow internet connection.

This entails an independent third party service, not run by Canonical nor the Xubuntu developers.
