Instead of checking the UNIX (SVR4, AIX, etc) box, proudly check OTHER and write in FreeBSD. It's just a small step, but I think we should all take it. Besides, thanks to the stupid trademark issue others have been discussing, it's technically true. A second plug is coming up. I have been asked to be a panelist with a 20-minute presentation at Networld+Interop in May in a session titled "Extranet War Stories", and I intend to use it as a forum for showing that our company has been successful in building an xxxxxnet presence built solely on freeware like FreeBSD, Apache, GNU and Perl, and that this is a viable path for corporate development of commerce websites.
