Hello. I know that I am rather off-topic on this mailing list with my complaint, but I just have to get this off my mind. About 6 weeks ago, my friend and I ordered 6 FreeBSD 3.1 CD sets and some other things from www.freebsdmall.com. However, until today, we have not seen anything of our order. About one week ago, I sent e-mail to orders@cdrom.com, as suggested on this mailing list before (by Jordan Hubbard himself AFAIR). The e-mail is still un-answered. Last Saturday, we sent a fax to Walnut Creek, containing a description of the problem and the content of the e-mail my friend received from www.freebsdmall.com in response to the order. The fax is still un-answered as well. So I have one simple question, and maybe someone on this list can give me an answer. Why does Walnut Creek ignore this order? Is it not worthy enough? Have the people at Walnut Creek mixed up Austria with a country like Iraq, for which the US government has (very questionable) export restrictions? Or are they just not interested in selling FreeBSD to us? 2 of those 6 FreeBSD CD sets are intended for people who are currently primarily Linux users. They are starting to ask me why they receive Linux CDs so much faster. This is not nice. In fact, even my Sun Solaris 2.6 package arrived faster. It would be good to see more FreeBSD people around at our university, but if we can't even get some CDs to make advertisment for it, this won't be easy. I am starting to feel annoyed, so I just wanted to tell you about this. FreeBSD is such a fine product in every other respect. Again, sorry for abusing the mailing list in this way. If you know a solution (apart from calling them directly, which I have not done yet), let me know please.
