I gave out the 50 Jordan sent to me within a month. About half of them ended up in the hands of the CS faculty at the Speed Scientific School here at the University of Louisville. The other half I gave out at a LUG (Linux Users Group) meeting! The local Linux group asked me to give a presentation on basic computer and network security. During the Q&A period after the talk someone asked me what Linux distribution I used. Needless to say I took advantage of the opportunity! Since then I've helped several LUG members with their FreeBSD installs. Most of them seem to like it a lot. Hats off to Jordan and Walnut Creek for making the moment possible!
