I'd still recommend the Walnut Creek CD-ROM. There are several
reasons for this:
1. It's put together by the FreeBSD team. The Infomagic one isn't.
2. Walnut Creek provides significant financial support for the
FreeBSD project. Infomagic doesn't.
3. The Infomagic CD-ROM appears to be a single CD-ROM. The Walnut
Creek edition includes two CD-ROMs for FreeBSD alone, and they're
planning more for the following editions. Guess where you get
more.
