<para>&os; -RELEASE distributions (for example, 4.3-RELEASE) may
|

be ordered on CDROM or DVD from several publishers. This is
|
||||
frequently the most convenient way to obtain &os; for new
|
||||
installations, as it provides a convenient way to quickly
|
||||
reinstall the system if necessary. Some distributions include
|
||||
some of the optional, precompiled <quote>packages</quote> from the
|
||||
&os; Ports Collection.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>As of this writing, the cost per -RELEASE CDROM set is $39.95
|
||||
(US Dollars) or $24.95 with a &os;
|
||||
subscription. &os; SNAPshot CDROM sets, when available, are $39.95 or
|
||||
$14.95 with a &os;-SNAP subscription (-RELEASE and -SNAP
|
||||
subscriptions are entirely separate). With a subscription, you
|
||||
will automatically receive updates as they are released. Your
|
||||
credit card will be billed when each disk is shipped and you may
|
||||
cancel your subscription at any time without further
|
||||
obligation.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Shipping (per order not per disk) is $5.00 in the United

||||
States, Canada or Mexico and $9.00 overseas. BSDi accepts Visa,
|
||||
Mastercard, Discover, American Express or checks in U.S. Dollars
|
||||
and ships COD within the United States. California residents
|
||||
please add 8.25% sales tax.</para>
