I ordered them 2-3 Months ago, they've came in a big box, I showed John Anderton on webcam...

I may order some more, just to spite the people who send them for free :lol:...

I only got two AMD Athlon versions though :dodgy:.

I just ordered another 86 :lol:. They're so silly.

I doubt I'll keep them all for myself, I'll probably take this box to school tomorrow and give them to people, it says, have as many as you want to share them, that's probably what I'm going to do ;).

Knowing me, I'll find a use for them :p.

frisbe them out your window, thats fun, i do that with free ISP cds.

quote:
You should use your judgment and limit yourself to a reasonable number of CDs for yourself and to give to your friends and coworkers. If you order a large number of CDs, you will be automatically contacted by Canonical staff to confirm who will ask about how you intend to use the CDs and to confirm the order.

The system will prohibit you from placing orders that are extremely large or that include what we think is a disproportionate number of AMD64 or PowerPC CDs. These orders can be placed by hand by Canonical staff. If you are stopped from placing an order by shipit, please:

I wonder how many is reasonable?

MR_5_MR, that's probably because there are some who order 200-300. There's no way you'll need 200-300 unless you're going to hand them out at a conference or something.

I know that it's possible to mount ISOs with software, but I doubt it'll work for the installation of an OS. You can't burn multiple on one CD/DVD because the CD/DVD needs to be bootable (you must be able to launch a program from it while booting). This isn't possible by just using 2 ISOs on the same CD/DVD AFAIK.
