It referenced this link. http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2010/08/11/most-reliable-hosting-company-sites-in-july-2010.html Five of the most reliable hosting companies (the top 4 and #10) use FreeBSD. I guess they might not want to use HP if HP is not going to support FreeBSD. There is Kace, which is an appliance that runs FreeBSD, but it was bought by Dell, so it will probably only ever be installed on Dells. Maybe HP should partner up with iXSystems to have them do FreeBSD support and development for them. Sorry, I wasn't of much help, Jared Barneck
