The FreeBSD Mozilla Group seeks to provide a focus for such work in the FreeBSD world, providing centralized resources such as a CVS repository, a mailing list and other tools for collaborative development. Please see the web page for more information on how to use CVSup and/or the WEB to to access the FreeBSD Mozilla source repository. Over the coming months, we will be working from this repository to make the FreeBSD version of Mozilla as fully capable and reliable as that available for any other platform (or hopefully more so. :) Jordan This is the moderated mailing list freebsd-announce.

Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Reply-To: postmaster@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org The new 4 CD set of FreeBSD 2.2.6 is now in stock and should start shipping to subscription and back-order customers tomorrow. More information on the CD contents are available from http://www.cdrom.com so I won't repeat all that information here except to say that the price is the same as usual, $39.95 a CD set or $24.95 by subscription. This new 4 CD set contains a lot of extra goodies such as the complete unpacked CVS repository, a live file system with full sources (for both FreeBSD and XFree86), a snapshot of www.freebsd.org, complete ports and packages (over 1300) - you name it and it's probably there! Walnut Creek CDROM has also brought back the popular 4 color FreeBSD T-shirt with Tatsumi Hosokawa's artwork and now has it in stock, along with the new embroidered FreeBSD polo shirt. Please see the www.cdrom.com site for full details. Finally, lest this fact not already be more than clear to everyone by now, I should probably note here publically that a good deal of the profits from these CD sales *are* indeed reinvested back into the FreeBSD project, a level of support which is only due to increase as the company throws more of its weight behind the increasingly successful (now #1!) FreeBSD CD product. While it is true that the Walnut Creek CDROM product is more expensive than some of the alternatives, it's also the most complete set of release bits available on CD and its sales allow myself and several other well-known FreeBSD folks to devote ourselves to doing FreeBSD full-time. Walnut Creek CDROM also donates thousands of FreeBSD CDs every year to schools, journalists and commercial software vendors in an effort to promote FreeBSD and this is a very valuable service to the project. To put it succinctly, please help support our continuing efforts by buying a CD from Walnut Creek CDROM or one of its distributors! Thanks! Jordan This is the moderated mailing list freebsd-announce.
