Root" Organization: !nterprise Networking Services X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (X11; I; SunOS 5.5 sun4m) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: 2.1 CDROM X-Url: http://www.freebsd.org//support.html Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I see that 2.1 is coming close to full release. How much lag time will there be between its release and Walnut Creek shipping a CDROM? I'm planning on switching my PC from Solaris 2.5 (beta) to FreeBSD (I've decided Solaris is too slow). And the time that I'll have to do it is Christmas time. I want to go straight into 2.1, if possible. Anyway, will a CD exist by then? If not, is there an automatic upgrade for purchasers inside a month (or so) of a new release? If not, how exactly does the subscription work? I pay $24.95 and get 2.0.5 and then a month later 2.1 comes out, they ship it and charge me another $24.95? And then in six more months, I get another and they charge another $24.95? I'm also not sure if I'm in this mailing list. I might just be in announce, so please copy me. Thanks. Paul. -- Paul T.
