Sorry your question got ignored.

First, like anyone else, we have no control over whether CompUSA picks up a
particular product.  That's their choice.  Talk with CompUSA about what they
carry.  They have in the past carried FreeBSD, but that is no guarantee of
their future offerings.

Second, FreeBSD is an open-source project.  You can buy it directly from
several online retailers if you like, or you could download it in a variety of
ways.

Of course, the most minimal amount of research could have answered this
question for you.  Going to http://freebsd.org/ and clicking on "Getting
FreeBSD" in the left-hand column would have given you a list of vendors and
methods for obtaining it.

As with most open-source projects, the FreeBSD effort is primarily a volunteer
one.  There are methods by which you can purchase professional tech support if
that's the quality of service you demand (go to http://freebsd.org/ and click
on "Consulting" in the left-hand column); the -questions list, made up of
volunteer help, is understandably not as enthusiastic about answering questions
that are already clearly answered on the website.  :)

Good luck.
