Ubuntu on Amazon

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS DVD

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on DVD

Available for: x86 PCs, 64-bit x86 PCs and PowerPC Macs.

Rocking! If you’re in the USA, you can now buy Ubuntu DVDs from Amazon. We’re working on international availability. ShipIt is still rocking for free CD orders, but right now, Amazon is the place to be if you want sweet Ubuntu DVD loving.

    Does Canonical (or anything else related to the developpement of Ubuntu) makes money on this ?

    Congratulations, really cool.
    If the picture is correct, it is only a pitty they are shipped in traditional jewelcases not the new DVD movie boxes (they don’t break so quickly and have a little bit more space for some textual information and pictures).

    But nonetheless, a great advantage.

    It’s a bit of a shame that it is 9.99 + shipping, seems that if you find a legit company to mass produce these the cost should be no more than $4, with costs to whoever is producing these being in the $2 range.

    I’m a bit surprised that it’s 3 different DVDs. Being able to ship a single DVD for all platforms would be very cool.

    Especially so for x86 and x86-64: Ubuntu I get today won’t be the Ubuntu I’ll want in 6 months. I wonder if it’s easy to upgrade their x86 Ubuntu to the x86-64 one.

    Is there any chance of dvd’s on bol.com ?

    Indeed, I would very much like to see available on bol.com. It seems that bol.com uses a single vendor for it’s software collection, called MicroMedia:

    http://www.micromedia.nl/

    I’ve already sent an inquiry whether there’s any chance of adding these DVDs to their collection.
