I just received the free CD package I ordered awhile ago. And... I don't know what happened, it looks very bland inside. None of the familiar red/orange/yellowness ubuntueyness. It's just black text on white background, no border, looks almost like what you'd expect at the back end of a user manual where they put the warranty.
The front picture is a yellow background with just 9.10 in 2 places and Ubuntu Desktop written on it. For some reason I didn't get much of an "ubuntuey" feel from it. The package also felt a little flimsy and there was even some shipping-induced deformation in the paper. This could be due to cost-cutting measures though, as I recently read in slashdot that Canonical is having budget problems with its "ship-it" program. That is my honest criticism. Naturally of course I commend all the volunteers that surely put forth a fine effort. Without them I'd be forced to eat Windows...and being on a shoestring budget as it is I was barely able to afford the $275 I spent getting and putting together a new computer. Yes, I just built it from parts I got from newegg :). So on an absolute scale I'm not terribly displeased with ubuntu overall. Anyway, I hope that my feedback, and probably a post-mortem of what went wrong with Karmic's release, will be beneficial to future versions.
