I contains 2.1.5R and a 2.2 SNAP (960801? it's very > fine print). IMO, PHT doesn't do nearly the quality job that Walnut Creek does on their disks. Their general pricing reflects this. BSDisc (sp?) also supplies FreeBSD along with NetBSD on a CD. I have a fairly old copy of this and it's a great archive, but not nearly so nice to install as the genuine WC CDROM CD. I don't know if either PHT or BSDisc supports FreeBSD in any fashion, but this certainly plays into my buying decision. -- Dave Cornejo - Dogwood Media, Fremont, California
