Amazon selling Ubuntu DVDs

[TheFridge]

Jane Silber wrote in to let us know that Amazon is now selling Ubuntu and Kubuntu DVDs for US$9.99. While ShipIt will send you CDs for free, the DVD is nice for those who are bandwidth starved or need overnight delivery.

Can we assume the profits go to Canonical? If so, I may just get one.

Nice! Next thing I would like to see is a 3 DVD set containing all of the repositories (instructions for making this yourself are here.

How shiny. Do these come with any sort of support?

[drizek]

system requirements for kubuntu are wrong, someone should fix that.

Yes, here is the description in Amazon

I had no idea what Consignment means, but there we go

Cheers!

Canoical is making/selling the discs, so the profits can only go to them.

Well, since Jane Silber is announcing it, I would expect Canonical to be receiving the profits
