Ubuntu does give CDs https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ I have had lots of CDs
delivered to me. Most of the newbies are scared of the command line
and when what you just need is an office suite and browser you still
need to use command line for that (or have a broadband connection or
DVD) is too much. CDs are still very popular and the only option for
many including schools. If at least synaptic was there in the first cd
it would have been easy to tell them just to add the CD from synaptic
and install Open Office.
