There are a number of companies producing CD-ROM or DVD-ROM sets. Again, they're listed in the handbook at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html#AEN27494 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-dvd.html Some of them, such as FreeBSD Mall, offer technical support - take a look at the websites linked from those pages. > Perhaps I am better suited as a Linux user since that has the vendor > support I am looking for, but I truly do prefer the FreeBSD platform. -- David Siebörger drs@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
