I guess if you lot are happy to spend ages getting ubuntu installed then crack on.   does explain why you MIGHT want this product.  Seems fair bit of work gone into it.  And afaik the fixed kernel is already available, jusging by the posts on this very site last week.
 
Its not like they trying to rip anyone off.


In my original post I asked if anything was different about this distribution that could not be obtained from one of the mirrors. Last time I installed Ubuntu it was way quicker and easier than any time i've installed Windows - in case you been hiding or your thinking of something like Gentoo - Many Linuces has been as easy or if not easier to install than other operating systems for a long time now. So is there some difficulty installing one thats distributed via canonical? If not then 20quid is a bit steep for downloading a distibution and burning it to cd /dvd.

If there are changes / improvements then according to the GPL they should be supplying the source code as well.
