In an environment where most people are acquainted with Linux, but they lack basic knowledge about FreeBSD, or have grown too dependent on some very Linux-specific feature (i.e. it's SysV style of rc-scripts), it might take a lot more effort to educate them, than just _stay_ with what one's current setup is. I am not a linux-advocate here, but some times the education of staff might to use FreeBSD instead of what they already know might be a reason for not using *BSD at all. Besides, if it works fine (regardless of *BSD or Linux) and you have no apparently good reason for switching, why get into the extra hassle? -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
