I think he knows that copying it is okay. Packaged CDs are more professional AND more convincing. He's trying to get people to switch to linux :)( Eric Eric Martin wrote: > Copying an Ubuntu CD is totally legit...just doesn't look as nice as > the packaged one...

I have 5 livecd/install sets that I got shipped from ubuntu awhile back. I'd like to keep one, so you can have the other four. Eric P.S. The meeting is at 7pm in the access grid room on Wednesday, right?

Ubuntu CD's

by Mike Leo

I made the mistake of offering a linux basics class at work. I was going to use the Ubuntu LiveCD to get the class some hands on. This way, they could take the CD and install it if they wanted too. I figured about 5-10 responders would say they wanted to go to the class. So far about 20 people are coming. Anyone have any extra 5.1 Ubuntu CD's they can part with? I need at least 10 more now and don't have time to wait for the mail. I know I could make copies, but talking about the free-ness of it, it would be better to hand them a nice legit copy. If so, please bring them to the LUG meeting tomorow if you can. Thanks... Mike

We can always use working monitors, a p1 or p2 may be too old to be of any use though.

This morning Salon.com has story on where recycled computers sometimes go: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/04/10/ewaste/ There's also an accompanying story on how to recycle your computer: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/04/10/greenguide/ You may need to agree to something to view the full articles for free if you don't have a subscription. I have to admit I've never given it a second thought and have left old PCs and monitors out on the walk for the trash pickup plenty of times in the past. -- Gary
