I have, of course, done the same. I would also HIGHLY recommend
sending a copy of the book + CD package -- ASAP -- to

Mr. James Love
Consumer Project on Technology
PO Box 19367
Washington DC 20036

James Love works directly for Ralph Nader, and composed the letter
to OEMs asking that they bundle alternative operating systems
with their machines. The letter mentioned Linux but not FreeBSD.
The group is installing Linux and will probably recommend it as
an alternative to Microsoft operating systems, but they have not
to my knowledge even tried FreeBSD.

If Walnut Creek is concerned about the expense of sending out an
evaluation copy or two of FreeBSD 2.2.6 and the book to Mr. Love 
and Mr. Nader, perhaps we can take up a small collection to have 
them sent.
