And as the guy who responded, I didn't intend to knock FreeBSD or it's
support. I'm well aware of the commercial support offered by BSDi, and
telenet. Those are steps in a good direction. It's just that sometimes
people will knock Solaris, HP-UX, Tru64, AIX etc etc, solely because they
are commercial. I wasn't setting out to start a flame war, nor do I think
you were, it was a discussion, this is what these lists are for afterall,
aren't they?

Cheers...
