This is one thing I discussed some weeks back on an Egroups list I formed to discuss BSD in the corporate/organization environment. I had a simmilar situtation in that I wanted to use a shared external SCSI box on FreeBSD. I found a way to get around it, but such support simply is not there for FreeBSD. The longer I use FreeBSD at work the more sadden I get in that FreeBSD seems more like an ISP/Internet OS. The type of things needed in corporations are just not there. >we must use Solaris. I also ended up having to run part of the things I needed to run on Solaris. On my case it was due to Sendmail Switch not been available for FreeBSD. >In any event, I urge all of you that give the slightest damn about FreeBSD >having any kind of place in the enterprise world to contact EMC and ask them >to *register* your request for FreeBSD support. We could, but I doubt it would do much. About the best thing that could happen is if a competitor came up with something.. then they would listen. >in support for FreeBSD in Enterprise environments are being removed.
