It comes with a 4cd set with the OS on them. Around $70 (US) for the book along with the cds.

FreeBSD comes with a boot manager so you can run a multiple-OS system. However, you can't run them both at the same time. You'll need to reboot to switch back and forth between the two. Take a look at the the handbook for more info.. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html -- : Jim Mock | [jim@corp.au.triax.com] : : System Administrator | http://www.triax.com/ : : Triax Internet Services | ----------------------------- : : Portland, OR USA | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve : : Wagga Wagga, NSW Australia | http://www.freebsd.org/ : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
