We are making a case to business people. People who wear suites. People who don't know what boot sector is. They dont' know and dont' care what freebsd.org is or cdrom.com is. They want examples where people made a lot of money using FreeBSD. I think everything I list would qualify. Out of what you listed I think only mediacity and moviedatabase qualify. Thanks. But do remember, we need examples of people making BIG money with FreeBSD. Not simply running BIG servers. We are not making our case to techies - we are making our case to suit wearing public. -- Yan > >> >> If you have a 4 cpu PPro SMP machine with 1Gig of RAM sittig on >> the T3 serving a lot of traffic it won't make it on the list.
