FWIW, the last time I was at Fry's, they had a 4.0 version of FreeBSD bundled with the book. Because I was using 4.1, and was willing to pay for the CD set for 4.1, and was willing to support the idea of the book, I would have bought the set, but the media was 4.0. I would have been willing to buy the book seperately. I would have been willing to buy the 4.1 CD set seperately. Bundled as they were, I couldn't really talk myself into buying the set.
