    Shouldn't the OpenBSD links be www.openbsd.org rather than openbsd.org?

    Thanks.

      Yup, got mine in the UK today. And according to the twitter feed, all the UK orders finished shipping out yesterday. Now I wait for the packages to become available :-)

    Placed my pre-order on 9/11. Ordered the CD set, two t-shirts (one black, one white) and gave a $50 donation to the OpenBSD project.

    Now I'm just waiting for the CD set to show up...
