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.
