Hey Tim,
I've added a limited description of each of the discs on the
official 4 CD-set, as well as a complete file listing for each disc to
our web site. This is not meant to be marketing literature, but
merely a way for users to tell if component 'FOO' is on one of the
official CDs.
The web site hasn't been updated yet, but within the next 24 hours
the content will be here :
http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/4.5R/contents.html
If you're looking for something comparable to Red Hat, then your
best bet is to pick up one of the retail boxed products at your local
CompUSA. The "FreeBSD Desktop Edition" is bundled with Partition
Magic and comes with printed documentation, as you would expect from a
Linux retail offering. You can also purchase this online from
www.freebsdmall.com.
I hope this helps,
- Murray
