Dreamcatcher

You can order a NetBeans Starter Kit DVD directly from the netbeans.org (here) website, the DVD will be sent to You for free (all shipment costs covered by Sun).
The idea is similar to Ubuntu and OpenSolaris shipping option. My copy of the DVD arrived today while I was at work.
This is a very nice option for people with limited or slow bandwidth. It's also nice if You don't like to Google for reading materials.


The Starter Kit DVD contains software distribution files for Windows, Linux, Solaris x86, Solaris SPARC, Mac OS X and the following list of items

• NetBeans IDE 6.1
  (All packs included)
  
• JDK 6 Update 5
  
• GlassFish V2 UR2
  
• Apache Tomcat 6.0.16
  
• NetBeans IDE 6.1 Documentation
  
• Java Platform API Specification
  
• Selected Java Tutorial Trails
  
• "Java Programming with Passion!"
