: 2.0 was just released on the net a few weeks back - it takes 3-4 weeks
: to get the masters done, the boxes printed, the replications done,
: everything shrink-wrapped, etc.  Do the math (and include the
: holidays) and you get a date somewhere near the end of December.


Please see the posting by Jon Cargille in comp.os.386bsd.misc announcing the
release of BSDisc.  This is a collaboration between Jon and InfoMagic and 
contains both NetBSD 1.0 and FreeBSD 2.0.

Contrary to the estimates given above, since we were expecting the release
we had the artwork in progress and the mastering lab on alert !  The disc
will be shipping around 15 December, just in time for Christmas :-).

This disc retails for $35.00 + shipping.

Contact us by email or one of the numbers below for more info and the rest
of our catalog, or look around on ftp.infomagic.com
