I've just placed my pre-order for 5.6 (5 sets, for myself and some
friends) via your new website.
Wanted to thank you for taking over from Austin, but also for your
acknowledgement towards him in your FAQ; I think that is a very nice
touch :)
Cheers!
Paul

My understanding is that CD sales help Theo directly; I believe that is still the case. Cheers, --patrick

Do you mean buy 10CDs but only ship one? and the rest being a donation? In that case, just buy one CD and donate the other 9 directly. The project does much better that way.

I have no idea if any other order site has been able to handle such requirements. Again: Drop the guys 'n gals at ord...@openbsdstore.com a note with what you need. From experience I can tell you they will handle your requests - friendly - fast - professional Anything else? Cheers, STEFAN

Is there no option for guest checkout? Must I be forced to create an account? 2. Is the system smart enough so to understand, if I were to purchase say, 10 CDs, but only wish to have 1 shipped, to properly calculate the shipping costs for the single CD being shipped to me? --patrick

It's a bit more for the shipping and insurance but it gets here promptly without much delay, quicker than the competition. I tried the others and went back to OpenBSD Europe. -peter

I read a mail from Mr De Raadt and he said that ixsoft isn't a -- how should I say that -- "proper shop", too. I appreciate your work and try to help (at least, a little bit).

OpenBSD 5.6 pre-orders in Germany possible
Hi folks, I just noticed that in Germany "Lehmanns" (see OpenBSD's order-site) already accepts pre-orders for OpenBSD 5.6-release. Guess what I just did :-) My little contribution to the project along with a big THANK YOU to the devs! Cheers, STEFAN
