CompUSA now selling FreeBSD "Powerpak" at very low price.
I'm not sure if this is confined to just the CompUSAs here in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I recently saw the Powerpak (latest edition of The Complete FreeBSD, the 6 CD FreeBSD toolkit and the 4 CD FreeBSD 3.2 CD) for what looks to be an introductory price of $49.95. I have no idea how they're managing to sell it that cheaply myself, but take advantage of this while it lasts! I seriously doubt that this is more than an introductory offer and I'd expect future editions of the Powerpak to go for more than this since their focus more recently seems to be to try and sell things with a higher margin than SUSE's $19.95 product, etc. (shelf space is an expensive commodity in the retail trade). Anyway, just FYI. If people see it in other non-Calfornia CompUSAs for the $49.95 price, I'd also appreciate knowing about it so I can find out just how widely this offer is being made!
