OpenBSD 4.1 pre-orders arriving in Europe

Contributed by deanna on from the 4.1 is here! dept.

The first report of OpenBSD 4.1 CDs arriving in Europe comes from Paul de Weerd. Pete gets an honorable mention for sharing his UPS tracking number and expected delivery date, and Renaud Allard gets cookies for providing the first pictures.

      Well, in fact it is a stylish arabic font and it's written "OpenBSD 4.1" :)

        Yes, but still... Puffy taking the shape of an Arab in the desert with US aircrafts in the background of that other picture? hehe, I just remembered Theos comment in that newspaper (that he didn't support the war on Iraq)
        Maybe this is some kind of esthetic response to DARPA for cutting the OBSD fundings.

        Anyway, nice graphics by Ty as always, can't wait for the song!

          Actually those who ordered the CDs early will find it on CD 2 ;-)

        I'm also in Aus and waiting longingly for my 2 sets but having downloaded lots of snaps (each with a selection of matching packages) I'm currently running a test box with the kernel build used for release.

        It was the lucky last I snarfed before I became overloaded with work and tax return hell. Woohoo!

    Okay, so I've never bought a set of OpenBSD CDs. Based on those images, I must say: They're nice! Better than your average set of Linux CDs.

    *orders*

    Excellent !,
    I always order the CD sets, lamentably to Mexico always they are lost, and the time of replacement delays too much, the 4.0 version almost four months later.

    I hope the Computer shop of Calgary can offer a good sending service to foreign customers, especially for tracking it.

    Congrats to OpenBSD for the 4.1 and the owners of it.

      If OpenBSD CD sets always get lost somewhere in Mexico;why not burn own CD sets and donate to the OpenBSD project?

        ummm!, always, I test OpenBSD before thath the CD arrive to my house. sometimes I do donations to the OpenBSD project, and non OpenBSD peojects too, (NetBSD eg.) .

        I want to say that the the people of "Computer Shop of Calgary" always are good people, they always reply my mails and return another CD sets to me.

      No complaints about Wim.

      My card was charged by "OPEN BSD/COMPUTER MILK RIVER CAN CA" on 3/15,
      but the actual product just shipped this afternoon.

        Actually it's not a very easy balancing act: if one does not start to charge the credit cards before the end of the month, then some have already expired dates.

        If I have to email somebody about a problem with a card (wrong number, over limit, ...) when are already shipping out the product, then it becomes all a very messy affair because you have to put orders on hold.

        Anyways, everything you do is wrong ;-)
