Well, I can't say much about the quality of the CheapBytes cds because I've
never used them.  I can tell you this.  When you buy the cd's from Walnut
Creek you are supporting the FreeBSD Project, whereas when you buy from
Cheapbytes, I do not believe that the FreeBSD Project sees any of those
proceeds.

I realize that it's a great difference in price, but I believe that our
favorite "Free" operating system can use all the support it can get.
