(yeah, sure) We are systematically replacing (as they reach end-of-life) all our Sun and HP servers with FreeBSD Intel boxes. We have 4 FreeBSD servers and one FreeBSD router running now. (4 down, 5 to go) :-) They run VERY well, and for now I don't consider any other solutions. Most of us run Linux on our desktops, however, only because new device drivers are usually available sooner, and some of us like the slick X-windows configurations that come with RedHat and Caldera. Just my opinion... your mileage may vary. So, for us... on a network server FreeBSD wins hands down. On the desktop, it's a toss-up.
