What's *that* all about? What horror stories did they get for FreeBSD 3.2 that led to such a conclusion, and were any verified and/or experienced by this particular vendor. And if there weren't horror stories, then what else might be the motivation behind a statement like that? All interesting questions... In any case, not exactly a URL I'll be using for advocacy purposes until I find out. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
