Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I don't know if this has already been mentioned in any of the previous threads on -advocacy or -chat, so please excuse me if that's the case. Anyway, just found out that BSDi (or the part which will be called iXsystems, iirc) will close down it's operations in Europe. So far I've bought 6 1U boxes preloaded with FreeBSD from the Stockholm-office for my company, and we are very satisfied with them. But, if I want to contintue using iXtreme servers I'd have to order them directly from USA, and that's not a practical alternative, imho. Afaik BSDi was only vendor located in Scandinavia which sold FreeBSD-servers, so I think it's very sad to see them shut down like this. -- Morten A.
