I heard about a project that aims to do what you are looking for (http://ww= w.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu)=2C but I do not know at what stage it is. My genuine suggestion is to spend time to advocate BSD and persuade your co= mpany to "move the whole show on it"! ... please note that this suggestion= is coming from a multi-certified Microsoft specialist! =3B) Sincerely.
