Which country ? There's about 190 ! eg Luxembourg has lots of banks ;-) If you are proposing OpenBSD, presumably you first posted on their list, so please post the URL to that thread, to save us repeating stuff etc. If you haven't ... be careful, people might suspect troll bait. This list here is for FreeBSD not OpenBSD. For BSD info, you can get multi lingual leaflets at http://www.allnet.de You might get more useful balanced advice by going to a local BSD group & offering to buy a free beer from one of each BSD camp to advise you. Or, Try inviting your local BSD guys to give a comparative 20 mins each on *BSDs as a combo lecture at your local city's http://www.softwarefreedomday.org & please send us URLs to the talks after. You can afford to buy them all a beer & pizza, to reward them to prepare their talks 'cos you said this is for a big bank chain ;-) Or, for professional advice please contact your nearest BSD consultant: http://berklix.com/consultants/ worldwide geographic indexed, more entries welcome.
