Why would they allow you to download an ISO only to burn it to a blank CD if that was the case. They strongly recommend that you purchase a CD, but it is not necessary. That just helps support development. Soon I am going to be teaching some consultants more about Unix in a little in-house course and I think I will burn a copy of my FreeBSD 4.2 CD which came with the FreeBSD: Guide Corporate Networker's book, which is a copy of the 1st CD you would purchase from Walnut Creek. The people in the class can then try out Unix on a home PC and perhaps learn to like FreeBSD. Most of the people in the class have to deal with HP-UX or Solaris so FreeBSD is a little different, but it will give them a great place to learn. As for that book, if you want a copy of FreeBSD 4.2 and a good book for a Windows environment, go ahead and get it. I have a copy and now that I have to deal with a Windows world more in my new job it will come in handy. Also, to start a little BSD book rumor, I asked O'Reilly a few weeks back about BSD related books and it sounds like one is in the works and if it goes well they will want to publish more books on BSD. I would not mind reading a book from Warner Losh or Jordan Hubbard. One I would die to have is a guide to hacking the FreeBSD internals... how it all works in a well written O'Reilly book so that I can take my limited C knowledge and put it to use on FreeBSD.
