Ubuntu comes with a LiveCD. Prior to v8.04, Ubuntu even required that you boot into the LiveCD before you could install Ubuntu on your system.
One of the things I really liked about Ubuntu 8.04 LTS was that the opening plaintext menu now includes an option to skip the LiveCD boot and go straight to an install.
There have been the Alternate Install CDs for some time. And I've been running Ubuntu long enough to remember the Debian based text installer thta they started out with that is still what is used for GUI-less installs. Heck, I'm such a masochist that I was installing Ubuntu 5.04 on OldWorld ROM Macs. Trust me, dealing with non-MacOS on pre-G3 hardware is not much fun. But, I digress even more...
