Agreed, just downloaded it yesterday.. I much prefer Ubuntu in comparison to the other distros out there so this a bonus for me :D

I think he meant USB hard drive. Doubt its a flash drive, iirc the biggest ones out are 64 GB

Good price! I love those guys.. I would loved to get the 64 gb though, if its not outrageously priced.. come to think of it, whatever happened to those high capacity DVD disks that were supposed to be released...
