<h3><font color=#0000e0>The OpenBSD <strong>2.2</strong> release is
available on two CDROMs for <strong>$30 USD + postage</strong>
(plus any required taxes if you live in Canada).
They are being shipped daily.
</font></h3>
<p>
<p>
<h3><font color=#0000e0>The OpenBSD <strong>2.3</strong> release started
shipping on May 19, 1998. The price is the same
as for the 2.2 release. This package can already be ordered through our
online ordering system.
</font></h3>
<hr>
<h3><font color=#0000e0>The OpenBSD 2.2 package includes:</font></h3>
<ul>
<li>The complete install components for <strong>NINE</strong> architectures:
<strong>alpha</strong>,
<strong>amiga</strong>,
<strong>arc</strong>,
<strong>hp300</strong>,
<strong>i386</strong>,
<strong>mac68k</strong>,
<strong>mvme68k</strong>,
<strong>pmax</strong>,
<strong>sparc</strong>.
<li>The CD's are bootable on i386, sparc, alpha, and arc.
<li>A funky CD insert sheet which contains <strong>much</strong> better installation
instructions than OpenBSD 2.1 shipped with.
<li>A full source tree (ready for <a href=anoncvs.html>AnonCVS</a> use).
<li>The latest <strong>XFree86</strong> binaries for most of the architectures
(all except mvme68k)
<li>The latest <strong>XFree86</strong> source code.
<li>Our own little <a href=ports.html>ports tree</a> (much like the FreeBSD
ports tree, but smaller).
<li>CTM bases for tracking <a href=ctm.html>CTM</a> afterwards. This includes
a CTM base of the entire OpenBSD CVS repository.
<li>Two OpenBSD 2.2 stickers included!
<li>And many other things...
</ul>

<strong>arc</strong>,
<strong>hp300</strong>,

<strong>powerpc</strong>.
<strong>sparc</strong>.
<li>The CD's are bootable on i386, sparc, alpha, powerpc, and arc.
<li>A funky CD insert sheet which contains <strong>much</strong> better
installation instructions than OpenBSD 2.2 shipped with. The
information on this piece of paper makes OpenBSD much easier
to install than if you do an FTP install.
<li>A full source tree (ready for <a href=anoncvs.html>AnonCVS</a> use).
<li>The latest <strong>XFree86</strong> binaries for most of the architectures
(all except powerpc). Unlike OpenBSD 2.2, XFree86 is now significantly
more easy to install.
<li>The latest <strong>XFree86</strong> source code with small modifications
by us to make it prettier.
<li>Our own little <a href=ports.html>ports tree</a> which has improved a lot
since OpenBSD 2.2.
<li>A very large archive of <strong>distfiles</strong> which are used by the
above-mentioned ports tree to build binaries easier.
<li>The following pre-build binary packages for most architectures, which are
very easy to install directly off the CDROM:<br>
<strong>bash-2.01.1</strong>,
<strong>emacs-20.2</strong>,
<strong>gmake-3.76.1</strong>,
<strong>id-utils-3.2</strong>,
<strong>ircii-2.8.2-epic3.004</strong>,
<strong>pine-3.96</strong>,
<strong>screen-3.7.4</strong>,
<strong>tcsh-6.07.02</strong>,
<strong>unzip-5.3.1</strong>.
<li>Two <strong>NEW</strong>OpenBSD 2.3 stickers included!
<li>And many other things...
</ul>
<p>
<strong>
NOTE:<br>
Most of the people who are selling the OpenBSD CDROMs for the
OpenBSD project know next to nothing about OpenBSD. They cannot help
with technical problems at all. If you need help or advice, you
should be using newsgroups (comp.unix.bsd.openbsd.misc),
<a href=mail.html>mailing lists</a>,
<a href=index.html>our web pages</a>,
IRC,
and other internet resources to get your questions answered.

Note: None of our ordering information is given to third parties. And
since the OpenBSD group is not even commercially aggressive enough to
get around to sending out reminders to previous CDROM purchasers
please be sure to subscribe to announce@openbsd.org (a very low volume
mailing list) if you want to receive at least minimal announcements
about new releases.

<h3><li><font color=#e00000>The Computer Shop of Calgary:</font><br></h3>
The main place for ordering CDROMs is the Computer Shop of Calgary (the
oldest continuously operating computer store in the world). If you
need to contact the Computer Shop directly, email to
<a href=mailto:austin@canuck.com>Austin Hook</a>.
<h3>There are a few different ways to make an order from the Computer Shop:</h3>
<dl>
<li><font color=#e00000>WWW credit card ordering:</font><br>
First, we have a <a href=https://https.openbsd.org/order.html> SSL secure
credit card ordering system</a>.<br>
A <a href=http://https.openbsd.org:80/order.html> non-SSL credit card
ordering form</a> also exists.
<p>
<li><font color=#e00000>Telephone ordering:</font><br>
To order by phone, dial <strong>(403) 605-8166</strong>. Please phone
during weekdays, during the daytime, in North American Mountain Time.
(Partial service is available after hours: 5PM-9PM weeknights and
10AM-9PM weekends.)
Have your Mastercard, VISA, or American Express ready.
<p>
Major Institutions can fax purchase orders to the Computer Shop
at <strong>(403) 243-2684 (FAX)</strong>.
<p>
<li><font color=#e00000>Mail order:</font><br>
Additionally, you can also mail USD or Canadian cheques (in which case
CDN $40, shipping $4 is sufficient) to:<p>
The Computer Shop<br>
ATTN: OpenBSD CD Orders<br>
3515 18th St, SW<br>
Calgary, Alberta, Canada<br>
T2T 4T9<br>
</dl>
<p>
<p>
Postage will vary depending on your location relative to the shipping
address. Regular post will be used unless special arrangements are
made. Shipping cost is therefore expected to be around $3 - $8 USD
(yes, that is in addition to the base $30 USD price). Packages will
be mailed from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Typical postage rates for
quantity 1 are roughly:
<ul>
<li>Canada $3 CDN
<li>USA $3 USD ($4 CDN)
<li>World $4 USD ($5 CDN)
</ul>
<p>
If you want your CD to come very quickly, you can choose Fedex.
If you choose Fedex, you very likely do NOT want to use the credit
card ordering system, but want to order your package by phoning the
Computer Shop phone number below. Typical Fedex rates for quantity
1 are roughly:
<ul>
<li>Canada $12.50 CDN
<li>USA $18 USD ($24.50 CDN)
<li>World $36 USD ($49.50 CDN)
</ul>
(Wow, Fedex is expensive!)
