So, I just completed my request for a CD.
There was a wee snafu in the process which made me laugh, so I'll share the whole thing with you.
---
I fill out the form and ask for 1 copy of Ubuntu 5.04 for PPC
I get an error message and an email adress to contact to clear the matter up.
This is the message I just sent:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I recently tried to place an order for 1 (one) copy of an Ubuntu 5.04 CD for PPC.
And got this error:
You are ordering a disproportionately large number of AMD64 and/or PowerPC CDs. You cannot do this inside the shipit interface. If you really want this many CDs, email info@shipit.ubuntulinux.org with: (1) the email address that you used to place the order (2) the numbers and type of CDs you are requesting and (3) the reason you need so many CDs of alternative architectures.
(1) email: kadymae@name of domain here.com
(2) I "really want this many CDs": 1 (one) Ubuntu 5.04 for PPC CD. (Yes, I know this is a disproportinately large number when compared to zero, but I'm just a greedy wench.)
(3) The reason I need "so many" ;) PPC CDs is that all of my computers at home are Apples, and Apple has never made any x86 computers.
Thanks (for the service and the laugh.)
