How do you do that? I believe he's talking about the Walnut Creek CDROM subscription scheme for FreeBSD, which I actually forgot to even mention in my last post (thanks, Nate). You have a 3rd alternative to paying $39.95 - you can buy a subscription to the FreeBSD CDROM. It's $24.95 then, and you get sent a CD each time a new one ships (at $25). You can also cancel your subscription at any time, so it's actually a pretty good deal for anyone keen on FreeBSD. Just call (or email or FAX) Walnut Creek CDROM and ask for a *FreeBSD subscription*, not a FreeBSD CD. They'll send you your first CD at $24.95 and every subsequent version publsihed by them at the same price until you decide you want to stop (or we all drop dead from fatigue :-). Send mail to (or finger) info@cdrom.com for more info. Jordan
