"Best" is such a difficult word.  There is only one _official_
FreeBSD on CD distribution, and that's the one from Walnut Creek CDROM
(info@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com).  I think I can afford to be
a little blatant with the advertising for WC here as most folks know
that WC has been more than kind to the FreeBSD project - they are THE
sponsors, and have contributed significant money and resources towards
making it as successful as it is.  I have no qualms whatsoever in
recommending them to folks who would like to help to support the project
with their purchase.  For every dollar they make, WC gives a significant
percentage back to helping us make FreeBSD a better *free* product, and
I think that this attitude deserves to be rewarded.
