The SD cards just arrived

The SD cards have gotten a lot of attention (which is great for the Ubuntu Eee project) and I have gotten the amazing AD revenue of $1.44 (which means I can buy myself half a liter of gas in Norway – that’s right, that’s the price over here ($10.6 per gallon), so stop complaining over there).

Now work begins on finalizing Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 and finding someone who prints stickers in this damn city.

3 clarifications

Will Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 be freely available or do I have to donate?

Donating is totally voluntary. Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 will be made available for download when it’s ready. If you do want to donate however, please visit http://donate.ubuntu-eee.com

It would be cool if the SD cards were available in stores

Yes, I agree :) Tough I can’t see how the money would be split.

Are there any SD cards left?

Yes, only five people have donated $50 or more (thanks!). Go here to view our accounts live. My girlfriend and me are going to donate $50 each as well, which means there are three cards left in this first batch.

Xenon, thanks for your interest :) we’re sending them out by mail in those envelopes for diskettes. And it Should be able to install – but as it isn’t ready, I can’t say for sure

Jon, I have a question, how do you will send us the SD cards? There will be a installation option in case I want to put Ubuntu-eee on the SSD drive?

Thanks for your great job!

Nuno Bettencourt, you’ll just have to try one of our cards then ;) And if you’re overclocking – maybe it helps if you don’t

I started out by installing ubuntu to a Sandisk extreme III 4GB card, and results weren’t the best of all.

since the computer heats a lot, my card starts having I/O errors. If i use a usb card reader, everything works. If i put it in the eeepc slot and leave it there for more than one hour and start upgrading with synaptics… is starts failing

Alex Barger, thought I would drive some traffic over to you.

Hey Jon, I run that site (4zale). I was curious what that page that you are linking to has to do with the Ubuntu EEE project or your sd cards?
