I could be wrong in this assumption, but I think a lot of people will choose RedHat or SUSE over FreeBSD is in part of the support that they get from those two vendors, and probably have the mentality that FreeBSD's hardware support isn't up to snuff compared to Linux. It could also be supply and demand kind of thing where customers will recognize RedHat and SUSE, along with Linux... those same people may not have heard or really know about FreeBSD. <shrug> --=20 Linh Pham question+advocacy@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org Apprentice Manager Editor and Writer http://www.daemonnews.org Courage: The things I do for love | And So Western Civilization Crumbles --CE+1k2dSO48ffgeK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAQ60iwhofDeWkDMIRAljoAJ95e3RgE+rulVhMWO4IoamZAtHo9wCdFsfO jykB1ynxlqqfoEneZXLanIk= =C/A1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --CE+1k2dSO48ffgeK--
