Ubuntu DVD Release

The reason that made me look away from Ubuntu was due to the CD release targeting desktop users and leaving developers, and when I install Ubuntu, I have to do tons of Downloads to make my desktop ready! Ubuntu had a DVD release that got almost all the software I require and it will be a minimal download for me. I never knew about it!! So, I downloaded the Ubuntu DVD iso image, and I will be using it on my laptop, My desktop stays multi-booting FreeBSD, Slackware and Fedora.
