We recently received the BSDI 3.0 upgrade and I feel that it's mostly bells and whistles (most of which I don't want to use anyway). I've considered switching things to FreeBSD, but we do have a few binary only products (and I know there are others available) for BSDI. Does anyone know how compatible BSDI binaries are with FreeBSD and if the developers intend to continue compatibility? Also, any opinions from those that know both BSDI and FreeBSD are welcome as to the strengths and weakness of each. --- Ron
