Still in the spirit of everything free, we have in stock some new Linux DVDs, free for those who are ready to test the proverbial waters.
Top on the list is UBUNTU 10.04 SIXPACK (MULTIBUNTU)
Ubuntu recently rolled out the new version 10.04 “Lucid Lynx” release. Today we bring to you six great Lucid Lynx variants on a single-sided, double-layer 8.5GB DVD.
Boot this DVD to experience its Live Boot functionality, have a feel of the classic Gnome based Ubuntu without installing anything on your PC. Double-click on the Virtualbox icon on the Live Boot environment to have a feel of the KDE based Kubuntu, the Mythbuntu PVR system or the legacy hardware friendly Xubuntu.
If you are still looking for more from the Ubuntu siblings, ISO images of Lubuntu and Ubuntu Studio are included in the DVD.
ALTERNATIVELY
Each of the six great picks included in the 6 Pack DVD could be obtained as seperate DVDs;
– Ubuntu : Named after the Southern African ethical principle “humanity towards others”. It is a computer operating system based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution and is distributed as free and open source software with additional proprietary software available.
– Ubuntu Studio : ?A multimedia editing/creation flavor of Ubuntu. It’s built for the audio, video, and graphic enthusiasts or professionals. It contains a suite of the best open-source applications available for multimedia creation. Completely free to use, modify and redistribute. Your only limitation is your imagination.
– Kubuntu : An official derivative of the Ubuntu operating system using the KDE Software Compilation instead of the GNOME graphical environment. It is part of the Ubuntu project and uses the same underlying system. It is possible to run both the KDE desktop (kubuntu-desktop) as well as the Gnome desktop (ubuntu-desktop) interchangeably on the same machine. Every package in Kubuntu shares the same repositories as Ubuntu. It is released regularly on the same schedule as Ubuntu.
– Lubuntu : A lighter, less resource hungry and more energy-efficient non-official variant of Ubuntu, using the LXDE desktop environment.
– Xubuntu : An officially recognised variant of Ubuntu, using the LXDE desktop environment.
– Mythbuntu : A media center operating system (OS). It is based on Ubuntu and integrates the MythTV Media center software as its main function, and does not install with all of the programs included with Ubuntu.

Do you have CAElinux 2010 rc or 2009 ?, i really need it
Wale Falade

Thanks alot for the mail.
WHat distro is best for working with as a mail server.
I am doing my project on sth that requires a mail server.
WHich howto do you recommend that would be the best to follow for such a work.
Wale Falade
I really dont know how much relevance Red Hat enterprise still has in the enterprise world, but it seems to be a standard of some sorts and, of course, it's not free. But the closest to it would be Fedora which is free and they are from the same stables. But i believe any Linux distro has the capability to act as a mailserver. Just my opinion, i do not have much Linux experience.

Thanks. I've seen your mail. And i've replied.

I used mtn's 3gig night plan, it took 2 hours 26 minutes to download 763mb at an average download speed of 89.2KB/s.
The download was done using the official torrent file, i considered using the direct download option but i feared it would crash along the way.
Wale Falade
By Nigerian standards, that is quite impressive.
Mbuotidem Isaac
Your contact page is not working. so i guess i can paste here.
Yeah, interested in the SIX pack offer. Shebi i can send you credit and it will do?
I believe the SIX pack comes with all the packages, multiverse, universe and restricted etc?
i also want Ubuntu Server and Linux mint.
Thanks.
Wale Falade
Hello Isaac, i do apologise for the hitch. The contact form is up and running. I do not think the six pack comes with all that, it's just basically a collection of 6 Ubuntu variants with virtualbox incorporated into the live environment for you to have a feel of some of the variants. You can also decide to burn the ISO images on DVDs.
I will send a mail to your mailbox shortly.
johnny
This is great, i love what your doing.
i would have requested linux mint 9 but i already downloaded it yesterday.
Wale Falade
What ISP do you use and how long did it take to download the ISO image?
Wale Falade
Thanks a bunch, grateful.
I use wordpress. Not sure if its the plugin that's not good enough.
muyiscoi
i guess wordpress (dats wot ur using right?) doesnt recognise d differences between all distros.
I have added the post to d blog. you can view it here http://ubuntunigeria.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/get…
Wale Falade
Yeah, don't know why. Using Linux Mint 9 64 bits. The 32 bits version also displays just Linux.
muyiscoi
alright. will do that right away. by d way, what distro r u using? ur blog just identifies it as linux
Wale Falade
Please feel free to spread the word. First come, first served. If the strain sets in, we call it a day.
muyiscoi
this is great news. mind if i aggregate this post on the ubuntu nigeria blog? other people might be interested in this offer (i hope that doesnt cause too much of a strain on you).
