I must admit that I was quite disappointed when I got my order of Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. Although the packaging still impresses, I was disappointed that each package only has the one CD... the Live CD.
I am not a fan of Live CDs and besides all I want is an installer CD coz I am already sold with the idea that I want to install Ubuntu on a PC. So when my Edubuntu packages came, I just put it on my bag and left there for days.
Then this morning, I happen to read the carton paper package of one of my Edubuntu CDs and OMG! I was actually amused to find out that it was the Edubuntu Install CD! Oh well, the lessons are 1. Read First and 2. Don't assume too much.
Another thing I learned on a Sunday (at the #ubuntu-ph channel at irc.freenode.net) is about irssi -- a command line IRC client.
Simply type "irssi" at the terminal and then press Enter. To connect to a server e.g. irc.freenode.net, type /server irc.freenode.net and then to join a channel e.g. #ubuntu-ph, type /join #ubuntu-ph and that's it!
Now I know irrsi and loving it. :)

Thank you for the enlightenment.
As I said, I guess its just me who doesn't want a Live CD coz I have some difficulties using it to install on a PC and sometimes, it takes too long to boot when all you want really is an install. :)
But then I am happy they shipped the "install" CD for edubuntu as it will make it easier for me to setup a LTSP server, I hope, given my limited knowledge and experience in doing so.
