OpenBSD is not for sale per se, it is free.  Right now the only
way to get it is over the net (see http://www.openbsd.org for
a list of ftp mirrors carrying the 2.0 distribution).  We expect
to have a CD-based release for OpenBSD 2.1 when that comes
out (I'm not aware of any ETA).  Actually, someone in Japan did
burn 2.0 CD's but they're not so easy to come by in these parts :-)
