I have a bunch of FreeBSD gateway boxes running around the city and they have proved extremely reliable and certainly more efficient than the few WinNT / Win2000 ones .... however the problems I experience trying to figure out every change to the system have me seriously thinking of moving to SCO which at least comes with a proper manual (ie with ALL the information one needs readily available) From my experience, the lack of quickly available config information is a major reason why many enterprise level business stick with commercial O/S'es ... OK I know there are places like Walnut Creek etc, but what about the countless others who can't afford the problems associated with a product with incomplete docs. As for the GUI stuff, few enterprise level businesses will accept anything as poxy as KDE or Gnome (what bright spark had the idea of putting that ugly great paw icon there) If I don't make the move to SCO I'll be looking seriously at the CDE stuff for FreeBSD, two things I certainly won't use are KDE & Gnome ... who needs to be associated with the linux lunatic fringe !!!!!
