Ubuntu’s free CD shipping programme Ship It is now taking pre-orders for Ubuntu 9.04 CDs.

Requesting a free CD is a great way to get an Ubuntu installation CD, especially if your internet is subhead to a download cap, or super-slow, or you just want an official, reliable, working live CD to pass around to colleagues or family so they can try it too.

Head on over to shipit.ubuntu.com to request your free Jaunty Jackalope CD.

CDs are delivered for free worldwide and typically take around 4 to 6 weeks to be delivered, depending on the country it’s being sent to.

But Ubuntu is well worth waiting for.
