3.0 out of 5 stars Fine, but, August 5, 2009

This review is from: Linux Educational Pack: Ubuntu 9.04 & Edubuntu 9.04 2 CD Set (CD-ROM)

I did not receive a three CD set. Instead I received a two-CD set that offered only Ubuntu on one CD, and a very basic guide to Linux commands on the other. For the price, I didn't really care, I wanted Ubuntu and anything else would have been a bonus. Another consumer might have got upset. Not me. Item arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

Nothing wrong with ubuntu, it is great system but this thing is weird. Just get normal Ubuntu (or Kubuntu) on DVD and Edubuntu is there already. This set doesn't make any sense.
