They run digital equipment and VMS exclusively on ALL their machines. Their link between their internal network and the internet is a lone FreeBSD box. They have no problems running FreeBSD on the box seperating this nice critical network from the rest of the internet :) It handles all their email and web (and soon will become three boxes, one for lot of virtual webserving, one for email and one as a firewall). Just another place where FreeBSD is used. :) Cya Adrian
