I am down with a "few" dollars. However, after perusing a few of the sites, the bare minimum cheapest going rate seems to be around $30. Anyone know of any cheaper freebsd CDs out there? Student rate perhaps?

FreeBSD is free. The CD is not free.
That simple. Once you have purchased a CD you welcome to copy it or install it as many times as you wish. Spending a few dollars on a CD is one way that many people contribute to the FreeBSD project.
Or you can download it off the Internet, if you have a fast enough connection or enough patience.

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?" -- Mike Godwin
Unix IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are. System Administration - It's a dirty job, but somebody said I had to do it. If you receive something that says 'Send this to everyone you know, pretend you don't know me.
