In an on going effort to be the ultimate FreeBSD online merchandise provider, we are currently redesigning & updating FreeBSDMall.com to better serve you, our customer. In the interim, some products & services have temporarily become unavailable. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope you will bear with us. We are very excited about this opportunity to reinvent ourselves, and promise to bring forth lots of new FreeBSD products, personalized shopping capabilities and more! We hope you also look forward to better things when we return. So it just looks like they are getting the site ready for new stuff.
