This was in the Home/examples folder. Found it to be very interesting.

Hi!
In 2008, Canonical sent me free CD of Ubuntu-Hardy Heron, upon a request placed at https://shipit.ubuntu.com. Now, they have rejected my request for UBUNTU- 10-04 stating that they want to encourage new users for free-shipping UBUNTU CDs.
My access to internet is limited. If you have already a downloaded CD/DVD image of UBUNTU 10-04 and /or LUBUNTU 10-04, request you to send me a copy of it through post (CD mailer).
thanks,

well i hate it too. canonical is not allowing people to get the free CD ( ) if they have already received one in the past. the downloads are massive. you end up downloading more than a CD's worth of material in a couple of weeks if not days if you want to keep your ubuntu installation up to date. i can send you a CD. i understand your pain. PM your address

Installed 10.04, but same old problem of non-working WiFi like 9.04 & 9.10 continues Tried all past efforts, but yet no luck to get WiFi working. BTW I also noticed my screen flickering, did anybody observed it? (it was also posted on Ubuntuforum)

 

[Sushubh]

i have not faced wifi problems for a couple of versions now. i did notice that my LCD would not turn off (after the set time period). the display would disappear. but it would not exactly go in standby mode. so essentially i would not be saving any money on power bills with ubuntu.

I had WiFi problem for all past 3 Ubuntu versions. May be its only with Dell laptops with broadcom drivers, as everytime I search for it, I get queries asking for Dell laptops About flickering I mean, while laptop is ON, bottom part of screen flickers slightly.

 

[Sushubh]

updated to the proprietary nvidia drivers? i have a Dell laptop too. and i believe i have a broadcom wifi thing as well
