There's a store called SoftPRO in Burlington, Massachusetts, that's probably
THE best computer bookstore on the east coast. They have a second location
in Denver, I believe, and an online presence.
I was in the Burlington store recently, and I looked over their selection
of free Unix distributions. They had the typical Linux stuff and FreeBSD.
I ended up talking to the cashier, and it seems that soon they're going to
start carrying OpenBSD CDs.
Is there any way we could put together a package that could be sold at
SoftPRO and similar places? It would be a shame for NetBSD to be the only
BSD they don't carry, and I can guarantee that folks won't be buying NetBSD
CDs there if they don't have 'em.
Is this something we can reasonably pursue? It's something I think we *SHOULD*
pursue.
