A friend recommended that I place an order for Ubuntu Linux CDs via https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ - apparently Ubuntu offers free shipping on its CDs anywhere in the world - yes you read right. What's more, they'll even do custom builds but you must justify the need. There is a quick registration process (they need to know where to mail out the CDs).
Standard builds support X86, AMD64 / EM64T and Mac. Shipping costs them the same whether you order the smallest or the largest package, so you might as well go the whole hog and help spread Linux cheer to friends and family.
Your shipment contains installers and "live" CDs, so you can try out the software before installing it. Be prepared to wait 4-6 weeks for delivery. Honestly, I can't wait!
