With Ubuntu, you can create ISO disk Images directly from CD/DVD and folder files. Then create MD5 Checksum files.
Assumed that the CD/DVD device is located at /dev/cdrom/
Turn a CD/DVD into an .iso
$ sudo umount /dev/cdrom
$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso bs=1024
Turn a folder into an .iso
$ mkisofs -r -o file.iso /location_of_folder/
Generate an MD5 checksum file
$ md5sum file.iso > file.iso.md5
Check MD5 checksum of file
$ md5sum -c file.iso.md5

Yay, its arrived..! Linux Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) free CDs. Requested it from https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
Kinda late, because i already downloaded and installed it since the first time released. And like always, i have to go to the Post Office, and pay Rp.7000 for the tax.
The Package:

And the package content:

There’s some difference from edubuntu cd. its called “Education Edition Add-on CD”. Ubuntu Education Edition is an additional selection of free and open source software for education to be used with Ubuntu. This CD is does not offer LTSP installation directly. To get the same out-of-the-box-set-up as before, start from the Ubuntu alternate install CD, and select “Install an LTSP server” from the Modes menu.
The Ubuntu Promise
- Ubuntu will always be free of charge, including enterprise releases and security updates
- Ubuntu comes with full commercial support from Canonical and hundreds of companies around the world
- Ubuntu includes the very best translations and accessibility infrastructure that the free software community has to offer
- Ubuntu CDs contain only free software applications; we encourage you to use free and open source software, improve it and pass it on
