Thanks all! What a tremendous job. > I couldn't agree more: FreeBSD today is really able to bring a tremendous v= alue to a lot of enterprise-grade environments. Coming from a deep Microsof= t experience as multi-certified MSFT specialist=2C I have been playing with= FreeBSD since the 6.0-RELEASE=2C and I must say that FreeBSD is perhaps th= e best OS when you need to effectively consolidate workloads and administra= tion efforts. The Jail system is simply amazing=2C and I'm really excited to see how the = VIMAGE feature=2C when it will be released as "producion-ready"=2C will inc= rease even more this value. To meet the always evolving business requirements today=2C IT pros need a s= implified architecture to keep TCP as low as possible=2C while sustaining m= ore and more workloads. Tools such ezjail=2C which allow to maintain a lot = of jails as they were almost only one=2C make businesses to obtain a true "= consolidation"=2C whom other proprietary and open-sourced OSes are far away= to reach. So... thank you very much=2C to anyone who contributed and still works to m= ake this great project to evolve! I guess to to help you a bit by advocati= ng FreeBSD as much as I can among customers=2C partners and institutions in= my country. =A0But a big work still remains to be done: to bring to BSD te= chnologies the visibility they deserve among IT managers and professionals = working in business environments. =A0I'll do my best to make this happen in= my country=2C I hope=2C also with the support of the FreeBSD Foundation an= d the BSD Certification Group=2C whom I'm in the process to make a few prop= osals to.
