Free Xubuntu CDs now available
It is now possible to order free Xubuntu CDs (see the Get Xubuntu-page). These CDs are generously provided free of charge by On-Disk.com as part of their Quick Ship free disc service, providing an alternative to Ubuntu's ShipIt service which does not provide Xubuntu. This means potential users only have to pay shipping costs, avoiding having to download Xubuntu over a slow internet connection.
This entails an independent third party service, not run by Canonical nor the Xubuntu developers.

Free Xubuntu CDs
Although Ubuntu's ShipIt service is not available for Xubuntu, On-Disk.com generously provides free Xubuntu CDs under its free disk service Quick Ship:
* Free Xubuntu CDs within the USA.
* Free Xubuntu CDs for the rest of the world.
These CDs provide the latest version of Xubuntu free of charge, only charging for shipping costs. Do note that this is an independent third-party project that is not run by Canonical nor the Xubuntu developers.

Requesting free CDs from ShipIt
There are now two versions of Ubuntu available. Ubuntu 6.06 LTS is the long-term supported version that provides 3 years of support on the desktop and 5 years of support on the server. Additionally, there are newer versions of Ubuntu that may provide more advanced features but do not include long-term support.
ShipIt remains committed to providing free CDs of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. You can request these CDs here. Please note that these CDs will NOT be the latest version of Ubuntu, they are Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, also known as "Dapper Drake."
