BITNETS Inc. , the servers consulting and secure mail hosting provider that featured FreeBSD at the show with the slogan "Switch to FreeBSD", promoted it as a fast and secure alternative, free, open source server OS of choice for web servers running Apache, DNS servers running BIND and a variety of secure mail server components. BITNETS also cited FreeBSD as having the fastest TCP/IP stack, being robust, more secure than common Linux distributions and having no potential legal issues as compared to Linux. There were mixed responses, from total unawareness of and ecstasy upon realizing that FreeBSD is /free/, to Linux proponents being miffed at the comparison to Linux. Regards, Gary Bajaj BITNETS Inc.
