Got my ubuntu!
Ordered 6 32 bit + 1 64 bit
Will keep 1 64 bit and 1 32 bit, will give the remaining to friends!
Tried out the Live CD, and I must say, it is one of the cleanest looking gnome interfaces I have evert seen!

Did others also have to pay the customs duty? I have ordered 5 32 bit and 1 64 bit. I will not take the packet if they ask me to pay the customs. :no: :no: Rave how many CDs had you ordered?

The trick is to avoid asking for too many CDs. If its just a few, say 3-4.. it will look small enough to be ignored/or would look like a 'gift' parcel and passes through customs without much hassle. However a larger shipment would definately attract attention. Moral - Its free, but dont be greedy ;)

Remember reading somehwere on the site about an educational institute or something that ordered for 5000 CDs (for a good cause of course), and it got stuck at customs for a huge amount.
