| Once you click on the above link in the '''Download Sites''' section of the page click on the country nearest you. You will then be presented with a list of files. If you wish to install on a standard PC select the file ending in ''*install-i386.iso'', if your computer has a 64-bit processor in it click on the file ending in ''*install-amd64.iso'' and if you are installing on a Mac use the file ending in ''*install-powerpc.iso''.

Order a CD from Shipit
[http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ Shipit] will ship free desktop CDs to anywhere in the world. This service takes time, so be patient.
Obtaining from Other Suppliers
- Other suppliers can ship Ubuntu cdroms and DVDs faster than Shipit.
- Ubuntu cdroms and DVD may come with computer magazines.

Development versions
As the next Ubuntu release draws closer, versions of it will be released on CD. If you are interested in helping test the release and in reporting or fixing bugs in it, you might wish to install the development release. Note that the development release, especially in the early stages of the cycle when the release is still months away, may be very unstable indeed. If you want to have a stable supported Ubuntu version installed see the stable release information above.
Early in the release cycle, CD images of the development version will not be available.
To download daily CD images using jigdo ("Jigsaw Download"), see the JigdoDownloadHowto.
Rsync to get the latest ISO
To get always the latest daily ISO, it will take you everytime 600MB of a download. When you once have the image, rsync just downloads the part which is different between your ISO and the one from the net.
Use this command to synchronize your ISO with the latest version from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/ (don't forget to replace i386 with your CPU)
rsync -v --progress rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily/current/dapper-install-i386.iso dapper-install-i386.iso
Now check the MD5SUM before burn it:
wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/MD5SUMS cat MD5SUMS md5sum dapper-install-i386.iso
