>OpenBSD 3.9 is also available on CD-ROM. The 3-CD set costs $45USD

>Profits from CD sales are the primary income source for the OpenBSD

>
>The OpenBSD 3.9 CD-ROMs are bootable on the following five platforms:
>
> o i386
> o amd64
> o macppc
> o sparc
> o sparc64 (UltraSPARC)
>
>(Other platforms must boot from floppy, network, or other method).

>- X.ORG FOR MOST ARCHITECTURES -----------------------------------------
>
>X.Org has been integrated more closely into the system. This release
>contains X.Org 6.9.0. Most of our architectures ship with X.Org, including
>amd64, sparc, sparc64 and macppc. During installation, you can install
>X.Org quite easily. Be sure to try out xdm(1) and see how we have
>customized it for OpenBSD.
>
>On the i386 platform a few older X servers are included from XFree86
>3.3.6. These can be used for cards that are not supported by X.Org
>or where X.Org support is buggy. Please read the /usr/X11R6/README file
>for post-installation information.

>------------------------------------------------------------------------
>- PORTS TREE -----------------------------------------------------------
>
>The OpenBSD ports tree contains automated instructions for building
>third party software. The software has been verified to build and
>run on the various OpenBSD architectures. The 3.9 ports collection,
>including many of the distribution files, is included on the 3-CD
>set. Please see the PORTS file for more information.
>
>Note: some of the most popular ports, e.g., the Apache web server
>and several X applications, come standard with OpenBSD. Also, many
>popular ports have been pre-compiled for those who do not desire
>to build their own binaries (see BINARY PACKAGES, below).

>------------------------------------------------------------------------
>- BINARY PACKAGES WE PROVIDE -------------------------------------------
>
>A large number of binary packages are provided. Please see the PACKAGES
>file (ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/PACKAGES) for more details.
>
>------------------------------------------------------------------------
>- SYSTEM SOURCE CODE ---------------------------------------------------
>
>The CD-ROMs contain source code for all the subsystems explained
>above, and the README (ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/README)
>file explains how to deal with these source files. For those who
>are doing an FTP install, the source code for all four subsystems
>can be found in the pub/OpenBSD/3.9/ directory:

> XF4.tar.gz ports.tar.gz src.tar.gz sys.tar.gz
