A tip for those threatened with no BSD box at work: FreeBSD runs fine _inside_ a box that looks like a multi sheet scanner. OK, slow, but invisible to managers who require MS only. These scanners often lie abandoned in company junk rooms (& cheap on web), as people know they used to need MS's abandoned NT (= Not There) operating system. Well they do ... until one installs BSD.
