I have been working with Unix since about 1987 (System V). The particular variety I've chose, and after several experimentations with others (such as Linux), have always stuck with FreeBSD (since about 1995). Some of the reasons include Stability, Reliability, and the ability to find things anywhere in the system (at times with no prior knowledge of the particular part of the system at hand, in an emergency situation), and accomplished what I needed in a short time. I have been using it from Version 2.1.5 and still at 3.2-STABLE. When the need to run linux binaries occurs, FreeBSD runs many of them, and from experience a while back, faster. Though that may have changed, since that factor is dependant on optimizations in both the Linux, and FreeBSD camps, and is up to revision at any release point from either =) Other things include fast development with the hierarchy in the FreeBSD system. Most things are very central, and easily found with apropos, and find. Onto the point, I have a question for you. "What would it take to get you interested in considering a ColdFusion Version for FreeBSD?" Key words are "interested" and "considering"... I'm not asking for any commitment, other than if you let me know what, that if it can be provided, you'll give it a look. Thank you very much, Eric A.
