ShipIt is now accepting pre-orders for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. You can request a free CD sent to you by visiting Ubuntu’s ShipIt page. If you’re a loyal KDE user, Kubuntu CDs can also be requested through Kubuntu’s ShipIt page. Expect the CDs to take up to 10 weeks to arrive. Special requests can be made for more than one, but they can take longer and may not be approved.

Since they do take a long time to receive, it’s recommended to download a CD and burn it for yourself once the 9.10 Karmic release is finalized. Also note that shipped CDs, assuming Canonical continues the trend, will be for i386 architecture only. That should work for the majority of users with both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel/AMD CPUs. However, if one wants or needs something else, IE: full 64-bit support, you’ll need to download an ISO from Ubuntu.
