Was this ever done before? I think a deep discount may be better than free. At the very least shipping should be covered. Of the 44 sets of 2.2.6 I got I have given away almost half and I have tried to be selective on who I giv it away (don't want these gifts to sit on a dusty shell) If I could buy older versions at a bargain price I would always buy some copies for friends/co-workers. Maybe we should have a previous version subscription. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
