I was a long-time subscriber, but had to drop out when the upgrades started flying - I do a source code upgrade, and 2 releases a year was OK, but I think I was getting 4 releases a year which was a bit steep. Is there any way I can subscribe as a contributor, or as a donation - support FreeBSD regularly w/o buying the media? I wouldn't have a problem kicking in, say, $50/yr. Also, I have used FreeBSD at work - I don't think that there would be a problem with having a 'support' or maintenance fee per box, if it could be dialed to the appropriate amount. - Mike Harding Cc: Tommy Hallgren <thallgren@yahoo.com>, freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 17:29:00 -0800 From: "Jordan K.

Being a Joe-user, that's all I ever I've asked this and they don't much like the idea since it makes it extremely hard to turn a profit at those sorts of margins. FreeBSD is not enough of a "volume" product that you could make enough just on sheer quantity alone. Frankly, we have no idea how Cheapbytes makes any money at $4.95. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
