I told did you call Walnut Creek CDROM and ask for distributor sales - Kelly Hall? my email disappears into cdrom&HSTcom blackhole. jackv earthling net. get two free copies of the cheaper freebsd merchandise. then you should get 5% of the final sale price. have them type your merchant id number -- make one up -- into the distributor sales place. the tax saved is your commission. and for the downline coding required. >her that the advantages of FreeBSD being free and coming with the book >makes it a great way for students to get a hold of their own Unix operating >system to learn at home from. Also, I told her that the Complete FreeBSD >book covered just about everything needed to setup a FreeBSD box.....from >Installation, to setting up the Desktop, to setting up a network. yes. this is thirty to ninety sales per 6 months. or so. and more. the residuals could go on for a long time, maybe. tell kelly hi and you should get a good discount, but you're going to phone your orders in to her, eh? they drop ship them. >Next time I think I'm gonna bring the book to class and let her check it >out for herself. Imagine a school using FreeBSD as their text book? That >would rock! Let's see if I can close the deal. :) attaboy! but, be warned, it might take six or nine months to close the deal. purchasing cycles sometimes take a long time. i agree, the book and OS would be a perfect teaching tool for any OS course. you should get a commission on any books sold in the book store, too, so you go over there and make sure the products are displayed well and kept up to date. -jack To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
