You nailed it right on the head. The last time I called them last year, I was taking to one of their sales/marketing persons. She told me that they were just getting ready to hit a linux trade show. Andwhen I asked if they were dumping the FreeBSD line as I see quite often (companies startup on FreeBSD then jump on the linux bandwagon) she said no, but that they were trying to get in on the linux hype. That right there kind of told me FreeBSD was just an afterthought. So I havent really offered any of my clients a netmax solution becuase if they wont support FreeBSD I wont support them. Which is sad too because I for one really liked to be able to offer clients the netmax solution. They did a fair job on it. *shrug* ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
