and an archive of the mailing lists - with a searchable database engine 
for the news/mail...  Hmmm...

I think this is an excellent idea...  Jordan?  What are the chances of 
Walnut Creek offering a FreeBSD-SNAP subscription?  I'd happily pay 
for a monthly or semi-monthly CDROM.  Say a couple hundred bucks a year?

You could put all kinds of great stuff on it - ports, packages, etc etc.
Even a live filesystem...

Here's to hoping...
