I got in from work to find this pack of Ubuntu Feisty CDs waiting for me. With my basic maths qualification I make that about 10 days from the release (19th April) to it being posted (some time before 30th April [today]). I got a bunch of copies for x86 architecture and a couple of 64-bit machines. They now sport a natty little "Pass It On" logo which looks cunningly like a recycle logo :). Nice touch. I have long since given away all my (hundreds of) acquired Dapper CDs, so will do the same with these. Interestingly my Father-in-law recently bought a laptop which came with a "free" upgrade token thing to Windows Vista. He had to pay postage (hah!) and received it nearly a month later (double hah!). Perversely he only got one copy for one architecture, no additional software (other than trial versions of some very expensive products), isn't allowed to copy the CD and give it to friends, and isn't allowed to install on multiple machines. How do these people cope!? * Ok, so it arrived eleven days after release, so sue me
