If you're not buying the book "The Complete FreeBSD" as well, I'd strongly recommend getting the Walnut Creek set for the ascii version, I don't think you will regret spending the extra! I can only find a single CD on the Cheapbytes site and I don't think it includes source tar.gz files for the ports which would be on cd3 and 4 of the WC ones. It's worth paying the extra just for that if you have to pay phone charges to download. Best wishes, Stuart btw, I thought this was funny. cheapbytes's description of NetBSD has this: THIS PRODUCT IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMERS IN THE U.S. & CANADA due to export regulations. followed later by: secr.tgz and secrsrc.tgz have been removed as a result of export regulations.
