Well then try downloading Fedora Core 4 for instance. You would be going bald
and in a wheelchair the time it finished. I'd recommend a buisness card
distribution for dialup users who want to "play" with Linux.
Well Ubuntu CDs are free, but most free distros are available on CDs for a small
fee. The fee is usually only material and shipping + handling costs. I'm not sure
why they dont charge for Ubuntu ones. Do you know why they dont?
Actually new stable Ubuntu releases occur every six months. The same thing
happens with the sister projects as well. The fact they came out with a new
release around the time you recieved the CD was likely due to you ordering a CD
only a month before the new Breezy Badger release then waiting a month for
delivery. So in this case it would be wise to order a CD as soon as they become
available.

Actually I meant Revolutions Per Minute, but maybe also Red Hat Package Manager.
