I have a CD with two Linux distributions:  Slackware 3.0 and Red Hat 
2.1.  It is in great condition, and comes with online documentation.  We 
are in this largely to learn about Unix operating systems, right?  Then 
would someone who has tried FreeBSD or NetBSD be interested in swapping 
CDs?  I would prefer a CD with a live filesystem if possible (stuff can 
run off of the CD to some extent for regular operation); does BSD have 
this?  Also, the distribution must be 1995 or 1996 - that is, with recent 
enough programming, and stable.  Please e-mail me with details about what 
you have to offer.  Thanks!
