And for a measly million dollars, I'll redirect FreeBSD.org to your
web site. Payable directly to my account at Bank of the Caymans,
of course.

Bill and Jordan are right on this one, guys. We (as in FreeBSD) can put
up the ISOs and every Tom, Dick and Harry with a CD burner can distribute
FreeBSD, and differentiate themselves on packaging, sales channel, and
customer service. Who knows, we might even get a few local shops to pre-
install FreeBSD on a machine or two, with their own FreeBSD discs thrown
in. It could happen. I'll talk to SuperDale and see if "Totally Awesome
Computers" will do this, they run their web site on FreeBSD.
