Ubuntu is all internet dependant, though you don't need it to install it. The reason for that is its internet-based application dependencies solving and community support.

To get Ubuntu for free, you will have to download the image of the disk yourself. If you would like a pre-burned copy shipped, you can buy whichever you need here: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 , though that only allows you to get many copies at a time.

Oh, and also, a piece of advise: don't use wubi (the Ubuntu installer that installs Ubuntu from Windows) for anything important. It is good for trying out, but bad for everything else.

A bit of personal experience from running on a computer with absolutely no internet: very, very difficult to work with. At least I could download the needed packages on my machine that does have internet, though that is very inefficient.

  • Ubuntu is not "all internet dependent" any more than any other OS. You'll need internet access to easily install new programs and updates, just like any OS. WUBI is no longer supported and doesn't work at all with Windows8 – Xen2050 Feb 23 '15 at 09:27
