When they first switched I tried to ask them if they would still load FreeBSD for me. Never got a reply to any of my messages. Also once after they had gone the Linux route I called to get a video card. I asked the salesperson if a particular card would work with FreeBSD and he didn't even know what FreeBSD was. I figure since both Linux and FreeBSD use Xfree I asked if this card would run on Linux. He said yes.... well the card did work on Xfree... using the VGA server at 640x480 :-( I keep suggesting to FreeBSDMall that they sell hardware... even if it is just doing a "virtual catalog" of a reseller such as necx. All they would do is create web pages with pointers at the vendor site with products known to work with FreeBSD (basically act as an affiliate).
