How does performance compare? Axil's homepage advocates NT. I haven't seen Richard's. BTW, Richard, if Axil wanted to donate one of these systems (or even an 803) to the FreeBSD project, we would make sure that FreeBSD *always* ran properly on it. 8) More seriously, would you like some "Powered by FreeBSD" stickers to put on the system? Perhaps a stuffed Daemon to sit on top?
