For some reason when I try to get Ubuntu to ship me a CD (at shipit.ubuntulinux.org/), it says that my account doesn't exist. Plus, I haven't been able to find a place where I am able to enter my address. What the heck do I do?

Unfortunately we can't help you with that.

Short answer: click here. (http://shipit.ubuntulinux.org/user.cgi?action=new)

Long answer:
When you click on "Shipit - Free CDs" (http://shipit.ubuntulinux.org/) at www.ubuntulinux.org then you see this text:

Request an Ubuntu CD!

The Ubuntu team will send you Ubuntu CDs at no charge, for you to install and share. We will cover the cost of shipping the CDs to you as well. If you would like to receive Ubuntu CDs, please create a new account (http://shipit.ubuntulinux.org/user.cgi?action=new) and tell us where to send the CDs and how many CDs You would like to receive.

I marked the important part in bold. Click the link there and you get to enter address info.
