First, the good news, whenever FreeBSD 2.2.6 was put on the table, it was snapped right up. BTW, humble thanks to Pat Volkerding ( Of Slackware fame ) for actually selling FreeBSD cdroms. Pat showed the type of attitude and behavior that the rest if us should think about. To him, FreeBSD is a friend, not an enemy. We should all be evangelizing FreeBSD AND Linux, not FreeBSD vs. Linux. Now the bad news, they ran out of 2.2.6 CD's and only had 2.2.5 left as of mid-afternoon Wednesday. -Ken stox@imagescape.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
