Walnut Creek etc. Do we have a shrink wrapped box similar to Red Hat Linux that could be sold through computer stores? If not, and a company wanted to provide that, could they do it? In other words, have the boxes printed, burn CD's from a particular release of FreeBSD and distribute it. Could they put XYZ FreeBSD on the box or is that a really bad idea (I'm not suggesting different distributions, just labelling)? Would Greg provide a slimmer version of his book that could fit in a standard box? Maybe Walnut Creek's distro is what I'm looking for, but I haven't seen it.
