Ubuntu CDROM ISO
In September 2012 Canonical’s Kate Stewart announced that the Ubuntu 12.10 image would not fit on a compact disc, saying "There is no longer a traditional CD sized image, DVD or alternate image, but rather a single 800MB Ubuntu image that can be used from USB or DVD." However, a third-party project has created a version of Ubuntu 12.10 that fits on a CD. It uses LZMA2 compression instead of the DEFLATE compression used on the official Ubuntu DVD image.
Last Official Release that fits to CDROM
Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) is the last official release that has a CD ISO.

ubuntucd CD compressed versions of Ubuntu
The latest version of Ubuntu is too large to fit on a CD (it requires a DVD or a large flash drive). The version of Ubuntu on this page has been compressed to under 700mb to fit on a CD. The only difference between this version and the official version is that this version has been recompressed with LZMA2, whereas the original used DEFLATE. Currently, this version will fit even on a 650MB CD, such as those made by MAM-A (Mitsui) or Taiyo Yuden / JVC.
This version is NOT official, although it doesn't have any packages added, removed, or changed (except for being recompressed) as compared to the official version.
