You mean besides the fact that you get four CDs with WC versus one CD with CB. I'm no spokesman for WC (ask Jordan for that :)) but I like the product. Shipping will probably be higher for NZ, but that includes the installation CD (1), a live filesystem (in case you really botch up and need the executables) (2), a CVS repository (on it's own disc) (3), and some docs and extra utilities (4). Disc 4 also has the non-restricted ports distfiles, as well as the /usr/ports dir. >From CB's description page: Note: Due to the size of FreeBSD 2.2.7, various non-critical package files have been removed in order to produce a single CD.
