No, only Ubuntu and Kubuntu:


ShipIt

Unfortunately, unlike the other Ubuntu derivatives, Xubuntu does not yet have free cds available for shipping due to lack of funding.

Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu have them available, hence why I have ordered one of each :D

The 7.04 CD's were a godsend, used them so many times its unbelievable, even did my first spreading of Ubuntu onto someones machines with one of them :D

Ordered 2, which is weird, I usually get 10, and get them all handed out in the six months before the next release, just didn't feel like getting that many through this time.
The Ubuntu community would like to thank you for your contributions to the Ubuntu project. In recognition of this, we offer you an expanded set of options for your ShipIt request.Best notice ever. :)

Meh, I'll order after Gutsy is officially released. Maybe then I'll get my CDs faster, because they won't be so busy.

No, cause that would throw it out of sync. Kubuntu will come with kde3.5.7

Some of the things you can look forward to is better power management, desktop installation improvements, better data migration, and plenty of fixes to the K Desktop Environment. One thing you might be able to look forward to is the possibility of packages created in time for release, the new KDE 4 desktop. However, KDE 4 will not be the default desktop environment for Kubuntu 7.10, but you can guarantee the development team will work hard to bring you installable packages as soon as they possibly can.

I think it's really great that Ubuntu will ship these out for free, but please keep in mind that someone has to pay for these to ship around the world, and it is not cheap. Only order if you need them. Also, torrent whenever you can and save the server load.

Cheers!

That makes no sense, at all.

Order now, delivered six to ten weeks after release.

Order when Gutsy's released, delivered six to ten weeks after release + time since release.

Your order will never be placed above those who order before you.

If there was no benefit to pre-ordering, they simply wouldn't offer it?

Why is there no more option for Alternate CDs ??? Looks like they are only shipping the Desktop CDs and they generally suck for me. There is no option for 1x x86 and 1x AMD64, you have to do a special request for that.

They don't, as there is not enough funding to allow it,however.It would seem should they get the funding needed for shipit the backbone is in place to start.

Though it's none of my business, I was wondering if Shipit's doing OK. I mean, I know they seem to be OK for now, but I remember for awhile there they couldn't offer Edgy CDs, and they haven't been offering Xubuntu CDs due to "lack of funding". So, is Shipit OK, or is it going to die sometime in the near future? I hope not, because I cannot get my CDs any other way but Shipit...:(

No, only Ubuntu and Kubuntu:

I only want to distribute Xubuntu CD's, I'll burn my own, anywhere I can download Xubuntu artwork for CD labels?

Yeah I wondering about that as well. I thought maybe they were only shipping one release a year, until they started shipping Gutsy.
