There is Isilon, iXsystems, Juniper, etc, but there are other companies that don't take a more active role in acknowledging that they run FreeBSD under the hood which only detriments FreeBSD's overall mindshare. It's funny how certain companies like Dell, IBM, etc choose to be so loud about their active Linux support -- so why should more companies using FreeBSD also not take suit? Thanks, -Garrett
