Can I run Ubuntu 7.10 without the stickers on my box? Will I be able to get support from the Ubuntu community if I do not pay for the stickers?😕
 
Without the stickers, Ubuntu runs in "reduced functionality mode." Once you firmly attach the sticker to the outside of the case, full functionality will be restored. Remember, pealing away the wax backing of the sticker acknowledges your acceptance of the Ubuntu license agreement.
 
Compiz Fusion, will it run in all its glory if I do not fork over the cash for the official stickers? Do I need seperate stickers for any virtual machines?😕
 
Yes, you do need the stickers. All Linux distros have a "sticker" that are required to run, the only difference is that they are saved as images on the distro itself... hidden. That means that each time you install Ubuntu, you are actually installing the sticker.

Unfortunately, the sticker requires something, sometimes the sticker will tell you to do things in return for the free operating system. The sticker can also leave the install at will and travel into other things, such as a dog. The sticker inside the dog will then tell you to look for hidden messages on the covers of Deitel and Deitel programming guides, at least that is what my sticker told me. I have yet to decipher the sticker's strange and beautiful codes that it left for me on the cover of my Java: How to Program book, but as soon as I do... I will try to perform the task.

Also, I suggest against installing it in virtual machines, as the stickers are cloned and soon the stickers will run out of beings near your home to possess and may start going into dust mites, which easily get on your clothing and are harder to hunt down and purge should you chose to uninstall the linux distro.

In order to uninstall the distro, you must find and cleanse the thing that the sticker possesses. The voices of the stickers get numerous quickly if you install many times.

The box stickers can sometimes trap the real sticker, but it is a crapshoot.
 
Don't forget to peel off any Windows stickers you might have on the box, they're not compatible, and the Windows sticker will erase the Ubuntu boot loader if you try to run Ubuntu while it's still attached.

This is a myth. Apparently some people licked the stickers before applying them, because they heard rumours of certain psychoactive properties of the adhesive. This turned out to be false, and it's taking forever to get the taste out of my mouth. Whatever. Just press them on.
