Well, this is the way I see it. Anyone who would be eligible for a educational discount (i.e. students, teachers, etc...) typically has ethernet access and probably a CD-Burner somewhere in the school/university environment. FreeBSD for $2, can't beat that. I think the same holds true for any computer store, but I may be wrong about that. Again, get one copy of FreeBSD and that's it. And the handbook alone is I think on the order of $40? Seems reasoable... I am not sure if FreeBSD will ever hit a lot of desktops though - simply for the fact that the gaming is somewhat restricted. It's a little better in Linux... Gary Kline wrote: > > >Hi my name is Kaua and I work at CompUSA in Concord California.
