Is there a way to send the 5-10 bucks directly to FreeBSD project? If someone download an ISO from whatever and want this going this way it can be done. There are other sites that sell the walnut creek CD at lower price, but I guess that no one cent of that goes to the FreeBSD project. On Thu, 18 Feb 1999, Jordan K. Hubbard wrote: > > True.
