I wrote my little letter to Mr. Marc. I would also urge each of us to
do likewise, as individuals and collectively.

I know that you can buy "The Complete FreeBSD" at Bookstop and Barnes &
Noble. I have seen flavors of Linux on the shelves of various retailers
as well. 

I plan on asking them to stock FreeBSD (preferably packaged with Greg's
book. Does it come that way? Guess I'll find out when upgrading to 
2.2.6.
