Why not there is any option to ship ubuntu in a Live DVD with a repository of various important softwares?

In our country ubuntu is getting popular day by day. But it is very much frustrating for us when we find that after installing Ubuntu, one cannot rely on it completely until he download additional softwares.

So it will save our life if Canonical can ship ubuntu in Live DVD with software repositories.

Don't understand why people think Canonical (or any other company) should subsidize their bandwidth problems.

Also, any repos shipped on the DVD will need lots of downloaded updates a month or two after the DVDs are shipped.

This is better addressed locally, like setting up a local mirror for repositories, or asking ISP to cache downloads or the like.]]> Wed, 31 Dec 2008 04:56:03 +0000 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:02:16 +0000 Thanks for sharing the link. But the DVD size is 3.9GB which means it will take more than 45 hours to download with a slow connection. Another problem is, only a few percent of people have internet connection.

Yes we can buy it, but mass people in 3rd world countries do not have the ability to buy product from online.

Actually at this moment security updates are not important. We just need to run it in our pc, people have internet connection can update it.

Canonical is shipping Ubuntu CD to anyone. Only one more step is needed to support countries like ours.

Everyone, thanks for your support.]]> Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:13:25 +0000
