A package came in today…

Well, I got a package today, to my surprise, they are very early. This is a free package I ordered through Ship-It - Canonical’s free system to deliver Ubuntu to users.


Those three CD’s are the 32-bit X86 version, the 64-bit AM64 version and the PowerPC version of Ubuntu 6.10. They have absolutely beautiful inlays (you just have to look over the somewhat overly happy front stock photo people - Hello happy stock photo people!) with detailed information.

Also, it comes with stickers! Woo-hoo! I am completely going to slap an Ubuntu label on anything I happen to liberate! No, not really, I’d get severely abused. But I’ll find a use for them, or let them have company with the brand adhesives you get with your Apple computer, that are merrily gathering dust in a dark corner of my desk.

At the moment, my Linux on the Mactel is still broken, but this weekend I am doing a resurrection with a new live CD - fingers crossed. For the uninformed, I completely trashed my system after building a custom kernel. Home-cooking gone bad, so to say. Well, I will get it running, but at the moment, it doesn’t even start up, so I am in a bit of a gripe. I’ve got a legion of mactel-happy coders to help me, though, so I will eventually sort it all out. For now, Mactel-Linux is not for human beings. I did manage to get back a screenshot from it when I was still running it, behold my sexy black UI;
