[新闻]Ubuntu 6.10 将不再免费派送光盘

Canonical COO Jane Silber 在 14 期的 UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter 中声称：

当前的计划是继续免费派送 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS 光盘，而 Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) 将仅可以下载获取。

换句话说，作为普通用户，将不能从 https://shipit.ubuntu.com 上预订 Ubuntu 6.10 光盘了。真是遗憾啊！

硬盘安装呗，有刻录机的就无所谓送不送的。

会不会有一天要收费？

6.06 是当前最主要的版本，LTS 不是白挂的。6.10 应该算是一个过度，相信 ubuntu 还是会继续派送光盘地。

不要抢新鲜　６.０６比６.１０问题少多了

应该不会把，怎么说那个南非哥们也是一心想着让stallman爷爷天天像德国银行家一样快乐的人阿

没有就没有，没啥遗憾的

过度版本，无所谓啦。

[NICMICHAEL]

不派送更好，那样太浪费了。

Plan for Edgy CDs

Hi folks -

I wanted to give an update on Canonical's current thinking about Edgy CDs.

Our current plan is to keep ShipIt open but to continue shipping Version
6.06 LTS CDs rather than Edgy CDs. The rationale for this is that we
want to focus the investment we make in ShipIt where it will have the
largest impact, and continuing to support the long term supported
release is more beneficial than sending free CDs for the latest, cutting
edge release.

We will still produce CDs for Edgy, but are looking to make them
available through other channels. Specifically,

- every approved LoCo team will receive a shipment of 500 CDs
("approved" means teams that have been approved by the Community Council)

- we would like to find a set of official distributors for the CDs.
These distributors will be required to pay for the CDs (to help cover
our production costs) and then can resell them. We are initially
targeting the low cost online sellers of Linux CDs and would like to get
at least one in every major geographic region. That way users without
the bandwidth to download the latest version can still get an "official"
CD for a few euros/dollars/pounds. *If you have suggestions of reliable
companies/sites that can do this in your region, please email Christina
Armstrong at christina.armstrong@canonical.com directly.* Please note
that these should be professional and reliable organisations that are
already in the fulfillment business (i.e,. that the have the
infrastructure to process and respond to thousands of orders per week-
this isn't something you want to take on in your spare time).

- We would also make the CDs available to anyone else who wants to
purchase them. Some details to be worked out, but the current thinking
is that we would make them available at the same price (probably
something like EUR 1.50/CD), there would be a minimum order size of
about 100, payment in advance.

Note that of course Ubuntu is still available for free - the new release
will still be available for free download, and the artwork will all
still be made available on DIYMarketing so that people can make their
own CDs. But this process will allow people to get the Canonical CDs
(which I'm told people want), faster than they currently can through
ShipIt, and at nominal cost. And note that 6.06 LTS CDs will still be
available for free from ShipIt.

As I said, there are still some details to be worked out, but I wanted
to share our current thinking with you. If you know a reliable company
that would like to distribute the CDs and has the existing
infrastructure to do so, please email christina.armstrong@canonical.com

好像没什么关系呢，现在没有刻录机的人好像快绝迹了吧。。。

虽然我认为6.06问题很多，但是我还是试6.10
看看6.10怎么样，如果还是问题多多打算放弃Ubuntu.
