Ubuntu Store Opens
By Shasta
In mid November, Canonical, the company that distributes Ubuntu, announced it would open an online store based in the US. The site, shop.ubuntu.com, offers products ranging from t-shirts to software all based on the popular Linux distribution.
The site offers all of the current distributions of Ubuntu on CD and DVD, including Kubuntu. You can also select from an interesting group of accesories bearing the Ubuntu mark, including backpacks, flash drives, stickers, mugs, notebooks, and other items. Clothing Items range from T-shirts to jackets to hats. You can also find training and support services on the site.
What this also does is lowers the cost of shipping Ubuntu disks to the US by Canonical. It should also speed up the delivery of requested disks for US users.
If you are a Ubuntu user or just a fan of Ubuntu and Linux in general, check out the shop, you may find something you like and while your their get a new copy of Ubuntu 8.10 and give it a spin.
