In order try out Ubuntu Linux you first need to obtain Ubuntu Linux. There are two ways to do this. One option is to have Ubuntu Linux shipped to you via the [https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu ShipIt] program. Whilst this sounds like a great way to get Ubuntu there are a few downsides. Firstly, it can take up to 10 weeks for the CDs to arrive. Secondly, the shipment usually consists of multiple copies of the CDs so unless you have a group of people who would also like to try out Ubuntu you are going to end up with a number of CDs that are only good as non-absorbent beer mats.
