At work I have tried to use FreeBSD where I thought it made sense and I could get support/permission. Recently we installed a mail server with some low end hardware (IDE disks, 128MB Ram) and installed FreeBSD. I used a 3Ware card with Raid 10 for redundancy. Even though the machine doesn't seem to be having problems yet (just started to move users from another mail server) because a HD failed and the machine freezed networking wants to move to more "stable" hardware. We have Compaq machines here. So they have a Compaq DL380 with Compaq Raid. FreeBSD doesn't run on this so they are rushing (it seems they find it more appealing to "play" with Linux) to install Linux (I think RedHat) on it. I wish them luck, but hope they don't rush putting something on production on an OS, which regardless of whether it is good or not, they have no experience with. At least with any FreeBSD machines I could have helped them (not that I am a pro, but just have been using it for years).
