Hi all, once again I find myself in a situation where I am unable to obtain a CD of the latest Ubuntu, would one of our UK users be able to send me a copy? I would prefer the 'Alternate' install version as this is going on to what could be considered a 'legacy' computer, all your help would be of much help to me, because going to college has left me strapped for a cash, and a recent broken leg mishap has prevented me from leaving the house in any form of comfort.

I will be very gratefull, please PM me if you can. Prove humanity exists in linux :D

Thank you.

Sorry I wouldn't ask this, but I'm in quite a situation as you can see.

School's just ended for summer and I'm gonna have a whole lotta time to fiddle with Ubuntu Dapper with not having a job :(

Yes, these are just Desktop CD's.

How much RAM does this computer have?

I'm a lot closer, I will do it then. Just PM me the details. I assume you want the Ubuntu i386, not any other architecture, what about Xubuntu?

Am I missing something here?
Can't you download an alternate iso ?

Probably could've picked it up from me...I'm only a bit* down the road** :)

*assuming that a bit means 30-50 miles
**the road in question being the M6

I'm sorry the line went down, there is renovation on my street.

I'll pm you the details, Bruce.

I've got them, I'll post them as soon as they are both downloaded+burned. Might be a few days, as Bitttorrent is quite slow.
