I've been in the OpenBSD users scene for a year or two now. I took the
following route,

1) bought a cd+book off ebay (legitimate copy of each). I did this as it
was cheap, I wanted the book, but the cd was the great 3.5 with
fantastic inlay.

2) later bought Jacek Artymiaks's book.

However, CD sales can't be that good, I want a hard copy of material, it
would be better business sense to have Jacek publish for OpenBSD, then
sell the book with the CD with each release. That surely is better sense
than buying a new tshirt every six months. Or, why not publish the FAQ
on paper, the pf section would certainly be of great interest to
firewall design/admins.

Way to go KD85, I've been waiting flipping ages for my 3.5 t-shirt.

The songs are great.
