Chris Coleman writes: "Daemon News is pleased to announce the availability of pre-orders for
FreeBSD 4.5. This will be our first release of FreeBSD on CD. We will
be using the official FreeBSD 4.5 ISOs created by the FreeBSD project.
The expected release date for FreeBSD 4.5 is January 20th. We expect to have CDs available two weeks after that.
We are taking pre-orders at this time to help gauge the number of CDs we will need to produce.
You can pre-order CDs here.
CD subscriptions are available here.
Vendor pricing will be handled through cylogistics.com."

I believe that is how it works. But IANAL [smile]
Even so, I intend to pre-order and pay these guys for at least one set of CDs, if not more. Just to reward them for doing the work and doing a good job.
They deserve it.

Anyways, I'm a subscriber to the FreeBSD CD set, and I suggest that anyone else who has found FreeBSD useful in work or home should subscribe as well. FreeBSD has saved me unmeasurable time and aggravation that I would have experienced using other OSs, so it's worth well more than the $40 or so the subscription costs a couple of times a year.
I realize not all of the money goes directly to the project, but Daemonnews has good people and I'm proud to support them as well.
