I used to have a small Unix training center in Pleasant Hill (city next to Walnut Creek) and tried to get some old FreeBSD CDs from Walnut CDROM.

Even offering to pay a few $ for each CD did not help. das To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
