Umm... it is ok, but you know ordering the CDROM takes about 6 weeks, don't you.

You can download an ISO file from about 50 mirrors and via BitTorrent in about 8-9 minutes :)

Pecan:
Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to download it
anyway. The shipit link takes me to the Ubuntu: Distribution
Overview, with no way to order it. Wierd.

I live at the end of a county POTS, so to download
a full ISO is gonna take me days. But I'll start it....

thanks
pecan


Edit:

It's started. It'll only take 28 hours. I've done worse.
I can run the download while clobbering more GTK code.

Pecan:
I noticed that the Ubuntu download says it uses
Gnome. Does that mean GTK?

Sorry for all the novice questions, but I havent used
unix in 10 years. And that one used X11

thanks
pecan

killerbot:
and KUBUNTU is based on kde, but you can do both.
On my SUSE10 is use Kde, but the GTK stuff is also installed.

Ceniza:
If you have a good machine you could also try "virtualization". VMware Player is free, QEMU's qemu-img can create VMware hard disks and VMXWizard can create a configuration file and also hard disks. You can even get Ubuntu ready for VMware Player (hard disk with Ubuntu installed + config file to run it) from vmware's site.

Of course installing Linux on your machine would make it run faster, but "virtualization" would save you the reboot :)
