The big downside with an Ubuntu install is that the standard expected default setup is a broadband connection. You can only get so much on a cd and aptget is not much cop without it. I've had discussions about this with the Ubuntu guys in the past and apparently you can get a DVD image, I just haven't been able to find it and they only give away CDs
You can download DVD images from Ubuntu's cdimage server: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/

Excellent, thanks Peter. I should make a point of keeping up with this and now I see you can buy the DVDs. I was quite excited and went to part with my readies... and wouldn't you know it, the latest DVD you can buy is 8.10 even though it's now three months since 9.04 release. OpenSUSE DVDs are available to buy almost always on the day of release and they're in my mailbox three days after order.
