Buy OpenBSD CD set in UK. Which benefits OpenBSD most?
Hi. Not sure if this is the right place for this post and I can't find anything to answer the question on the site. I think it time I bought a CD set and was wondering which method benefits the project most, financially? I'm in the UK, by the way. kd85.com would entail paying for Belgium - UK shipping which if this is a reasonable cost is a moot point for me. I could go through Cortex or Holborn Books in the UK, but it looks like they will probably get a large chunk of the proceeds. I'm presuming that through kd85.com, the OpenBSD project would profit more than through a reseller? I ask, as I intend to more or less 'subscribe' and continue buying further releases and I don't like to waste even pennies, let alone pounds. That's on top of the wish to make sure that OpenBSD benefit most and not some courier service. Tight as a duck's arse, I know, but it's the thought that counts and the main point in buying is to support the project, not unrelated third parties. Best regards, Craig

Re: Buy OpenBSD CD set in UK. Which benefits OpenBSD most?
Thanks for the replies people. Sorry, I should have made another point. I would happily donate, if I were lucky/good enough to make a living from the use and/or support of OpenBSD. At present however, I am merely an enthusiast, trying to get it in place on 4 or 5 of my own machines. So, without sounding too tight fisted, I think that buying CD sets, rather than simply downloading a boot CD and ftp installing, is probably the best and most appropriate way for me to do my bit and give a bit back, so to speak. From what I see, me being in the UK, buying from kd85.com would be the best way, from the OpenBSD project's point of view. Thanks. Craig On Thu, 2006-01-05 at 21:03 +, Craig McCormick wrote: Hi.

Best regards, Craig Buy from Wim either at: https://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order.eu?P11=1 or from http://kd85.com It costs approximately 5 euros for shipping to the UK, delivery is always reasonable (in terms of time). But all and any donations direct to the project are valuable, and pounds buy more than the equivalent number of candian dollars. HTH Fred -- http://www.bristolshotokan.org.uk/
