Once you get going I can help you get your group listed on freebsd.org. I also have had luck getting free or low-cost CDs of Free and Net BSD from some of the vendors out there. For other ramblings and discussions you can contact me off list or in #tcbug on freenode (appa_x) Our website is http://www.tcbug.org which also has contact info on it. Good luck in your endeavor -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel
