Special Request

[davidgypsy]

I have an unusual request, I am working as a volunteer in Malawi, Africa, and downloads here are too slow to get a whole disk. It would take all month and cost a fortune. We are currently getting some companies in South Africa to donate some old computers for use in training people in Malawi (using Ubuntu of course) and I would really like to get hold of a copy of Ubuntu 6.10. Is there anyone out there that could post us a cd? If so, the address is:

David Clark

Blantyre
Malawi

Thank you so much for considering this.

Ill post one for you, I will send it via royal mail air post should take ~5days.
You just need a standard Ubuntu 6.10 alternative installation cd

Sounds like you are doing some good work, keep it up!

Why don't you just order one from Shipit? They're free.

It's 6.06, which I have a copy of. I was hoping for a copy of Edgy, which seems to be very good, with newer features. Feisty is coming soon too...
