Well, I can't say much about the quality of the CheapBytes cds because I've never used them. I can tell you this. When you buy the cd's from Walnut Creek you are supporting the FreeBSD Project, whereas when you buy from Cheapbytes, I do not believe that the FreeBSD Project sees any of those proceeds. I realize that it's a great difference in price, but I believe that our favorite "Free" operating system can use all the support it can get. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Mojahedul Hoque Abul Hasanat [SMTP:mojahed@citechco.net] > Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 1999 11:32 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Where to buy? > > Hi, > > I am a Linux fellow who have become very interested in FreeBSD.
