To download it, merely go to ftp.cdrom.com, and look under freebsd. I haven't been there for a while, so its probably under /pub/freebsd. Grab the latest stable release. I believe that's v3.0, but I heard v2.2.8 is coming out, so I'm confused right there. v3.0 might be a stable release for developers and the like, not yet ready for prime-time. Remember, though, downloading isn't great off of a 28.8, tiring even over isdn. The best option, IMHO, is to buy the cd. Now, there's a few ways to do this. You can buy the walnut creek's set, which has the cds and the Complete FreeBSD (supposedly a great book), or you can grab just the cds cheaply at cheapbits.com. There, its just a few dollars. I recomend having a book.. I'm trying without one, and its a pain. I'm waiting for a new version of the Complete FreeBSD, since fbsd v3.0 is supposed to be a major change. There was a online-freebsd book being written, but I lost the url a while back. Its probably out of developement by now, and you can read it on their page for free, I expect. Otherwise, the only other free source for books is mcp.com. However, they give you access to old releases, and have just Linux or straight UNIX books, no fbsds.
