My employer is audited by clients on a regular basis. If you have your internal documentation and processes together, it doesn't seem to bother any of the corporate-types we run up against in the health-care industry that we are running a freely-available, open-source OS. If you require "commercial support" I'd like to think there is a commercial entity that can lease such an option to you. The FreeBSD foundation hasn't gone down that road yet, unlike some other projects. Maybe someday, but if you need a commercial support option that is co-branded with your Operating System, you could do worse than Solaris, or Red Hat Enterprise. -danny > >On 10/6/05, Ansar Mohammed <ansarm@gmail.com> wrote: > > > >>I guess I am interested in finding out if there is support that is > >>offered > >>by the FreeBSD project, not from third party vendors. > >> > > > >FreeBSD offers non-commercial support through > >mailing-lists and doc-project (FAQs and Handbooks) > >which is probably the most comprehensive, > >active and effective support there is.
