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.
