Screenshots at the announcement page and here; downloads here, available in straight ISO images or as BitTorrent downloads, or upgrade with the distribution's APT front tools. Canonical will ship CDs for you free of charge through their Shipit scheme, or you can buy them and get them quicker. Note that Ubuntu, the GNOME version, has also been released; you can obtain either first and use APT (or Adept/Synaptic) to install the other.
