Ubuntu's ShipIt service, free of charge (a free account or an OpenID is required). They have started taking the orders a few minutes ago, so hurry up!
Also, if you want to count the days until Ubuntu 9.04 is released – which will happen on April 23rd – you can get a nice script to post on your website. This time, Canonical also added some very nice and animated countdown scripts. Each day, the image will change, counting the days remaining until the release of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope).

For those of you who don't know yet, Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) will come with a new notification system, faster boot times, GNOME 2.26 desktop environment, community desktop themes and brand new artwork. Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) will be powered by Linux kernel 2.6.28, which will offer support for many new devices (wireless, webcams, mobile phones, etc.) and the evolutionary EXT4 filesystem.
Although many of you have downloaded the Beta release of Jaunty Jackalope, later tonight we will introduce you to the
Release Candidate, which will be available for download right here at Softpedia. At first glance, you won't notice many changes compared to the Beta version, because most of them are internal, like bugfixes, improvements, security and software updates.
You can download the Release Candidate version of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) right now from
