You may be able to download ubuntu from your shortwave radio soon.

It almost seems too good to be true. If it is upto the guies at
outernet you would be tuning your SW radio to a station and let your
computer listen to it. Then your computr collects the data that is
transmitted and when it is done you will have a nice and shiny copy of
ubunto ISO even if you are in one of the remotest part ofEthiopia. And
it will not cost you any thing. You can have the entire wikipedia or a
lecture broadcast of the distance course you are taking from MIT.
