Am I right in understanding that if you ordered Warty you are suppose to automatically receive Hoary?

I have yet to receive anything, looking at my order history it says they were sent 01-01-2005 at 00:00:00 (although I suspect that is due to the change in the system or something) however I did receive them shortly after christmas.

So I'm just beginning to wonder why I haven't received anything yet, I know its a free service, but Breezy is due for release in 2 months

I have never heard that...I was under the impression the opposite was true, that if you want the upgrade you either need to order or download new cds or apt-get dist-upgrade.

So if you had Warty Warthog Ubuntu installed on your computer you could upgrade it to Hoary Hedgehog and so on without downloading, burning, and installing it from scratch again? Cool.

Hmm, I could have sworn thats what I heard, plus if I log in to my account it doesn't allow me to order new CDs just change the quantity I receive

Right take a look at this page. (http://ubuntuguide.org/4.10/index.html#upgradewartytohoary)

Then I would recommend reading this page (http://ubuntuguide.org/) as a resource.

It is possible I am wrong, but I don't recall ever hearing anything like what you were saying. Did you try to email the shipit people from their web page?

i never received the 10 warty cd-s i ordered. but then i ordered 5 hoarys (a long ago) and i've just got them today

i even forgot that i ordered cd-s, it was fun guessing "who the hell is sending me a package from switzerland?" :)
