Please see: > http://forum.r1soft.com/showpost.php?p=3414&postcount=9 Quoting the thread: > and they are usually very busy... and they like to work for hire. Wrong term: Even open source folks need something for living. That's too cheap and I don't suggest supporting a company like this, as they're expecting somebody else to do their job and make profit of it. They're free to use a system like FreeBSD for their products, they're free to modify and redistribute it but they need to do their job and don't expect anybody else to code for them for free. Next quote of thread: > real world competency writing block device drivers for FreeBSD Let me check that out... %ls -l /dev | grep ^b % Well, I guess, nobody is able to do so and it's noted in the handbook or in GNN's "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD operating system". A good read. > I know people who want to switch to using FreeBSD but cant do that > because their backup solution (R1Soft) does not support FreeBSD :( What's wrong with solutions like Bacula? It's working, cross platform, well supported. And now, go ahead and flame me for not doing work for free for other peoples profit but I'm pretty sure there won't be much guys wanting to do that.
