Their web page is http://www.cdrom.com (powered by FreeBSD, of course :). I happen to have the URL of the order form handy: http://www.cdrom.com/orderfrm.html. I believe it costs $40, $50 with a copy of Greg Lehey's book _The Complete FreeBSD_. I recommend getting the book if you've never installed FreeBSD before, it was very helpful to me and I've heard good reviews from others too. The current version shipping is 2.1.6.1; this release is very stable and mature and is good for machines that must be up without fail; however, version 2.2 should be on CD-ROM in about a month. 2.2 is newer and somewhat less well-tested; however, from what I've heard I would not call it unstable, and it's faster and has some nice new features. So depending on what you want to use FreeBSD for, you may want to wait a month and order then. > silex@perfekt.net > Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
