Do you have any idea how quickly packages get updated? Probably at the time v3.0 of FreeBSD is released, 95% of current packages will have been upgraded, and a large number of new ones added since 2.2.6. As of now, about 75% have been upgraded, and there are many new additions to 2.2.7. CD's get old faster than a mayfly. Personally, I'd rather have ISDN, ADSL or a cable modem to download FreeBSD... to me that would be 1000 times better than any CD :-) Unfortunately I'm still stuck with a 33.6k modem, and STILL downloading 2.2.7 (after about 12-16 hrs... currently updating package changes). -- My web site starts at http://www.serv.net/~fewtch/index.html - lots of goodies for everyone, have a look if you have the time.
