Ya got me with my pants down.... :-[ My company does some of the stupidest things sometimes....when I read the article on CNET I rolled laughing... Fortunately, I work for a small hole-in-the-wall division of Unisys and we run FreeBSD all the time. It's funny because Unisys is connected to Bill Gates at the hip, so most all of the solutions are Windows based. It normally costs Unisys 2 arms and three legs to purchase all the software. I turn around and do the same function for my division in using FreeBSD and it costs me a big fat 0 dollars...am I in the wrong place or what?
