The latest desktop and server edition nicely packed in a box with some information. Unfortunately we are using allot of Novell technologies so I'm stuck with Netware and SUSE. -_-

Oh no! What's that? You've got a proper company who has experience in the work place set up? Why can't we just use Ubuntu when it's clearly better than others, despite the fact the others have been at it for years, and have a huge company and profit from it!

That is very fancy indeed. What did you do to deserve such royal treatment?

Sorry for the late answer.
I actually never did something to get the package accept doing my job, I work as sysadmin and it happens allot that companies just sends us stuff, most of it just ends in the trash, but this one I just needed to share with you.

I'm nut certain what I'm going to do with it.

That actually looks really professional. Companies are far more likely to implement something when it looks professional than not, so good work Canonical!

Back on topic.. if you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands :p

Very nice presentation. I recently did a shoot for a book release party & I had no idea how huge the packaging design industry is. Makes sense though.

Do you consider it a good thing or a bad thing, ie is it annoying that they are sending you "spam" as you call it or are you glad you received it? It certainly looks prettier than any junk mail I receive.
