Sorry to step into the middle of a thread here, but to me it says that
FreeBSD has had, and likely continues to have, a very good development and
testing process for several years now, if not longer.  This is my
justification for using FreeBSD for all of my core services while my users
demand Linux on the desktop.


# uname -a
