Ramirez" Subject: Free BSD CD-sets Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'll be quick and to the point. Is there currently an effort to get FreeBSD to users that may not be willing to fork out the $40 (which I feel is a very small price to pay) to try/test it out without having to download it? I know there was (not sure currently) a Linux effort to get CD sets to users. Basically all it did was list those who had CD sets they didn't need/use anymore and those interested in the OS could contact the person offering the CD set (or even installation help) and get it for free. I know that I personally have plenty of previous release sets (1 rev behind release) that I don't use and would be willing to send to some newbie or curious in hopes that they like it and decide to use/support it. I'm sure there are others out there with sets that are collecting dust.
