<nik@freebsd.org> Great idea, and it needs to happen. </>

<nik@bsdi.com> Work is in progress on this.  Discussions are taking place,
meetings with distributors are happening.  I can't talk about specifics, 
or timescales, but this is an issue that is being worked on.  Feel free to
go in to Dillons et al, and ask them why they don't carry the book you want
to buy.  Sooner or later they'll notice that "FreeBSD" keeps coming up as
a search time on their internal inventory system, and that'll assist the
process we're going through. </>
