I've been creating small snapshots of my own for a while when I've managed to get my hands on the CD writer from work, and usually pass the old ones off to interested friends. That small amount has never been enough to allow me to give a copy to plenty of other people whose ear I have bent. I can think of at least four different local computer resellers which have heard about it because of me, one public library, one High School library (<grin>), and quite a few friends that would love to have a copy. > 1. Number of CDs desired. 35 CD sets should be OK. I will try to talk a teacher into using FreeBSD in a computer class at our Vocational school (there's at least 5 CDs for the handson sessions), 6 will be given to the local computer resellers to try out, at least 7 to friends of mine. What is left over will be enough to keep the public and High School libraries happy (at least until surplus 2.2.7 CD's are available :). I'll probably start by giving the libraries 5 copies each and if they have a high demand for them (*cross fingers*) and all of the copies get checked out, they can ask for more. I'll even keep in touch with them (High School one is easy enough) and see how many times they get checked out. All in all, that should leave me with a few extra CD sets which I can surely find some way to put to good use. Feel free to ship more if you want (see below.. hint: tax deductions... <grin>). Hmm.. think I could give some to my college bookstore? Could/should they sell them or would I tell them they had to give them away? > 2.

See (1). I will also create a flyer to go with it describing what FreeBSD is, why you should use it, how to get help installing and using it, and of course, to let everyone you know copy it. :-) > I will then send you the CDs, domestically or internationally, > completely free of charge.
