I Like Microsoft so much, that every time I shut an NT down to substitute it with a FreeBSD box, I send the NT serial number back to microsoft.com.... I personaly have substitued 7 in the last 3 months. It happens this way: The client first buys NT to make an internet provider or an intranet solution. Whithout support from the M$ reseller, that does not understand internet, dns, gated, proxys, irc, http, php, postgres, "c", perl, shell, telnet, rlogin, rsh, ftpd, tcp administrative tools, the client feels lost. So I go the the client, presents it with FreeBSD as a intranet server, substitute the NT, links the FreeBSD box to the internet with an inexpensive hardware to and ISP, and... now we have an happy client. Here In Brazil, they (microsoft) elect some of their resselers a "Solution provider". We call them "Problem provider" mainly for the poor tech assistant their offer for their clients. One of my friends, that sells SCO and M$, (now works with FreeBSD) is very impressed with the quality of the OS and the support he got from the FreeBSD people. He got most the answer he needs in a 3 hour elapse time. Even a friend of mine that's a Linux Fan is now working with FreeBSD after 3 of their clients switch to FreeBSD as servers. Lenzi.
