Hmm, I got my OpenBSD 2.2 two-disc set free of charge (no shipping charges either) from a German vendor - He stated that he couldn't make profit of them anyway. That's inexpensive for ya. But of course, the distribution is nowhere near as widespread as other 4.4BSD derivees or Linux, even. Otherwise, there's NetBSD on the two-disc BSDisc set from InfoMagic (with FreeBSD also). One can only hope that this set will someday include all three freely available 4.4BSD derivees. -- //bwulf - Sune Stjerneby -- "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur." -- "4.4BSD UNIX - A Real Operating System for Real Users."
