The default Get Ubuntu page is giving links for the download of Live CDs, not the live DVDs. The direct download links for Jaunty DVD is not given anywhere else on the page… Upon a bit of googling, I found the following links:
For CD Images: http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/
For DVD Images: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/release/
But the dvd link from above is a ftp download from Ubuntu’s servers and doesn’t support download resuming. I googled for more and finally found the following links useful for a resumable direct download of ubuntu dvd:
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/dvd/
http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/ubuntu-releases-dvd/9.04/release/
These links are available from the official mirrors list of Ubuntu:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd
Only the above two links (France, Greece) are pointing to Jaunty. Rest of the links there are pointing to Hardy release dvds.
Eagerly waiting for my download to finish…

Ubuntu, by default comes with a CD ripping utility called Sound Juicer. By default, it will not have the capability to rip audio cds into MP3s. We can enable ripping to MP3s by installing “gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse” which can be found in the default repositories of Ubuntu > Feisty Fawn.
You can now see MP3 option in the “Edit->Preferences” of the Sound Juicer application. Clicking on the “Edit Profiles” button in this preferences will let you edit the default 160kbps bit rate and some other encoding parameters.
Happy ripping

The version of VirtualBox 2.0.4 from Ubuntu’s repository isn’t having the Guest Additions file. You can’t install Guest Additions unless you have this VBoxGuestAdditions.iso file, and here’s the direct download link for the file:
Direct download link:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.0.4/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.0.4.iso
Place this file in /usr/share/virtualbox, and Virtual Box would be able to install guest additions in the virtual machine.
Edit:
The new version is 2.2.2, which can be downloaded from
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.2/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.2.2.iso
Thanks to SantAnna who updated me on this in comments.

The usual locations to look for icons in Ubuntu are:
usr/share/applications
/usr/share/icons
/usr/share/pixmaps
If you are not able to find the icon in these locations, but you see the icon in desktop shortcuts (having a file extension of .desktop), you can find out the path of the icon by opening the .desktop file in gedit (or any other text editor). The field “Icon” contains the location of the icon.
