I'm certain Walnut Creek should qualify, at least that would get FreeBSD on the list. As a platform for creating servers of any sort, FreeBSD really shines. IMHO, it's somewhat easier to put together a working FreeBSD server than Linux, due to the more tightly controlled releases. I've personally installed FreeBSD on machines all around this area, used as intranet servers, source code control servers based on both CVS and Perforce (see www.perforce.com, they're big FreeBSD fans, too), and as email/web servers for small companies with full-time internet connectivity. -- Wes Peters Who's going to save you Principal Engineer When you're a slave to Xylan Corporation A diamond as big as the Ritz wpeters@xylan.com -- Jimmy Buffett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
