If you need a "company" who will support FreeBSD, check out www.freebsdmall.com. (Some companies don't like to deal with independents, for whatever reason.) As a former independent contractor, I have to say that an indie will give you better results than just about any company. Don't get me wrong -- FreeBSDMall is pretty durn good. Independents usually have their hearts in the business.
