They used to, but I don't think they do anymore. In fact, I think they used to send one to you for free. I got an official Ubuntu install disk for free at college (someone was handing them out), and I've been on Linux ever since.

I do see Ubuntu install USBs on Amazon, but I wouldn't trust those.

I ordered one years ago, still got it in the display cabinet but I'm sure it's long rotted at this point.

Yeah, I wish I still had mine, it was from before I started hating Canonical. What a great piece of history that would've been.

But no, I threw it out like I did so many other things at the time, because having less stuff makes moving a ton easier.
