I figure my subscription money is well worthwhile to support that worthy bunch. i agree with you. Nonetheless FreeBSD is happy to have CheapBytes produing CD as well as Walnut Creek. The important point is to get FreeBSD into as many hands as possible. Those who buy from CheapBytes would not spend the money needed to buy from Walnut Creek. So we feel that the result is to increase the exposure that FreeBSD receives. jmb This is the moderated mailing list freebsd-announce.

CheapBytes has been making CDs for a year or more, as far as I recollect. It is good that they are doing this. People that by from CheapBytes would not buy from Walnut Creek. The result is that FreeBSD reaches more people ;) jmb -- Jonathan M.
