We printed up this months issue special for BSDCon. If you are attending BSDCon, you will get a free copy. If you aren't that luck, you can order them from the Daemon News Mall. http://mall.daemonnews.org/?page=shop/flypage&product_id=832 It was sort of a last minute decision to publish it, inspired alot by this thread. We hope this will break the ice and get things moving. Supplies are limited. I have 125 copies sitting here that weren't sent to BSDCon, so I can guarantee those, but not beyond the next ten minutes. Its first come first served. IF we get a good response and can get the advertisers, we want to continue printing these. (they did cost quite a bit and we are selling them for next to nothing. ) -Chris Coleman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
