It took a month for me to get the CDs. I didn't pay for the CDs so
they are free to be picked up. As I have to pay for individual
shipping, I would like to be entitled for a small fee.

I myself have been playing around with Ubuntu and have found that it
is by far the best distribution around.  I like the single CD
distribution where you install mini mun applications,
and add more apps when you need them. I have been using MPLAB with
wine and am very happy with it.
