<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>
<para>Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CDROM comes with
an unconditional return policy.</para>
