I have been impressed by the performance response of your site, especially 
since the hardware is a 90MHz Pentium.  The philosophy followed by the 
development team makes a lot of sense.

Aside from possible religious issues in either of these two camps, are there 
performance characteristics, supported equipment list, or stability issues 
that would make FreeBSD the OS of choice over Caldera Linux?

Regarding applications, are you aware of growing ISV support for FreeBSD?  
Are you aware of any plans by anyone for a SunSoft Wabi port to run Windows 
apps?  Or something similar to Cadera's Office Suite?

Thanks,
