Gail, It is possible to source both the FreeBSD CD and manual free from the Internet but depending on your local available bandwidth and skill level(s) you may find it more convenient to buy these items. You can buy the FreeBSD CD and manual (known as the handbook) via mail order from the USA. The cost for both items is USD $49.95 plus shipping. Unfortunately I could not find the cost of shipping but you may investigate this directly by following this link... http://www.osd.bsdi.com/titles/freebsd/bsdhandbk.phtml You may also have a local distributer of this product but unfortunately I am not familiar enough with Namibia to know of any. Perhaps someone else on this list will suggest one or otherwise you may like to search through a local business directory. Also, please look through that Internet site mentioned as you will find it offers other titles than just the FreeBSD manual. One such example is a book titled The Complete FreeBSD which many people on this mailing list use, you can find this book (with CDs) by following this link... http://www.wccdrom.com/titles/freebsd/bsdcomp.phtml Alternatively you are welcome to download a FreeBSD CD-ROM image directly from the Internet. To do this you will require enough Internet bandwidth to download a 640MB file within an acceptable timeframe, a CD-ROM writer (also known as a burner), a blank CD-ROM disk, and the knowledge of how to use all these things. You can get a listing of all the servers where you can download the FreeBSD CD-ROM by following this link... http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html The FreeBSD manual can be found online at this link... http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ I hope this helps you find the FreeBSD CD-ROM and manual. Please email us again should you have any trouble locating or using the operating system and we can help you further.
