'''As of 2014''' the last official release of ubuntu that fits to a standard cdrom is Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). [http://askubuntu.com/questions/303083/does-the-ubuntu-13-04-disk-image-fit-on-a-cd You can't burn Ubuntu 13.04, or 12.10 ISO to a CD]. It would only fit on a DVD, since the ISO file size is almost 800MB. Newer builds of Ubuntu will no longer fit on a CD as Ubuntu decided to include more "space" for its developers to include more packages (Programs/apps) in the image as previous builds required for a stripped down build for CD and a bigger build for DVD. The change allows developers to have to only maintain one image and reduce testing.<big>'''As of 2014'''</big> the last official release of ubuntu that fits to a standard cdrom is Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot).

'''Unofficial Ubuntu 13.10 CD''' a version of "Saucy Salamander" that makes it possible to fit to cdrom without removing any packages has been accomplished by using better compression. See: '''ubuntucd CD compressed versions of Ubuntu''' below.
