Just as a add-on to this, on the weekend past I was down by the University of Toronto Book store to buy Solaris v2.6. There was a customer that was looking for FreeBSD. The book store didn't have it so, I sent him off to the "World Largest BookStore". He wanted FreeBSD for home, use because they use FreeBSD at work to test their NFS Server/Gateway products. The company is know as HCL (aka Hummingbird Communications Ltd) Paul Griffith BTW: He also said that their developers liked the new SCO UnixWare 7.
