Shouldn't Canonical update these? 10.10 discs would be nice! (Please, no Natty.)

Seems like still people need the 6.10 ;) ;) :p

I think 6.10 was the first release of Ubuntu I tried... I didn't really work all that well for me at the time.

Platform fail.

Technically Ubuntu can be installed within windows (wubi). Also, it runs on the same hardware (mostly) as windows.

Not a complete fail, but definitely silly.

More than likely, Amazon is stuck with a bunch of CDs sitting in a warehouse somewhere. They may as well try to sell them because they are worthless otherwise.

At $19.95 too! Not a bad price! ;)

I don't believe server edition can be installed easily within windows. That's the fail.

They have PC versions and Mac versions of this. Weird. I wonder why they dont have a Linux version. Or a non-version version.

PowerPC for older macs perhaps? Yeah though, putting platform on there is quite stupid.
