4.9 CDs are on their way

Contributed by weerd on from the wait-for-it dept.

Reader Renaud Allard writes in with an update he received from the OpenBSD Europe store:

I just received a mail telling me that my OpenBSD 4.9 CDs were dispatched: 

This is an automated message from OpenBSD Europe with regard to
your order on 16/03/2011 at 22:05 .

Order no. 562.

The order has been despatched and will be with you soon.

Who will have them first ? :)

    I received a similar message from the Computer Shop yesterday morning (for delivery in the US).

    It seems that OpenBSD Europe serializes their purchases giving us a good idea of how much volume goes out their door. I applied this formula from world war 2 intended to see how many german tanks were produced. (M-1)(S+1)/S [1]. If OpenBSD is produced like german tanks were, I came up with 701.25. That includes 4 samples from 3 older purchases of mine and yours. So this formula predicts that there is 701 CD's purchased by OpenBSD Europe since OpenBSD 4.7. The rest is up to your imagination on how CD sales go. :-) :-)

      I can confirm these mathematics are voodoo!

    My 4.9 CD set arrived in Bend, Oregon USA today.

    The box has told me, in friendly letters, not to panic.

      I just opened it. It has the best sticker EVER in it! If you haven't ordered your set, it is worth it for that sticker alone.

    The Linux User Group of Mauritius just ordered its
    first batch of OpenBSD CDs to support the ongoing
    development of OpenBSD (and OpenSSH).

    Quite a few members think very highly of PF, and
    sincerely would like to see this wonderful process
    continue.

    Just out of curiosity, does everyone have theirs already? I've bought CDs in the past, but this is the first time I've pre-ordered.

        Same here. Not the end of the world, but the CDs are nice, and I feel better not chewing up donated ftp bandwidth. Oh, well...

    I hope to pick up my set at BSDCan. Will there be a booth, or at least someone from the project selling CD's?

    Ordered from openbsd europe on march the 19th :)

    Arrived today (Friday 13th May 2011) in Tauranga, New Zealand.

    Thanks to all the devs once again for another great on-time release.
