I hate to say this, but FreeBSD is definitely NON-enterprise. That's because we are not an enterprise! We are a non-commercial community based operating system. There is no way we could have a Redhat or SuSE style site, because we don't sell anything or provide paid support. We don't have "Business Customers", commercial "solutions", shrink wrapped boxes, offer certification, funds for professionally created graphics, etc. Some of this could be provided by commercial vendors of FreeBSD (Daemonnews, FreeBSD Mall), but not by FreeBSD itself. Actually, now that I look at it, the FreeBSD site follows the same basic layout as the KDE site. Last I heard KDE was turning heads in the enterprise... David
