I don't think it will, if someone really wants to use Ubuntu, they will either download it, or pay to get it shipped. I wouldn't mind betting the vast majority of the CDs sent out were wasted, just people wanting to get them becuase they were free to throw them around or whatever, which obviously costs money. |
