Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in on some feelings I have that I have not seen addressed.
I work for a medium sized company (125 employees) and have been slowly trying to convert my supervisor over to running some BSD-based boxes, mostly for a simple ftp machine, the company intranet, etc. He has all the desire to go BSD (sick of buying a Windows license for a Pentium II that moves files three times a day) but I have had a hard time steering him to BSD. He started looking into Suse but mostly because it is mentioned in the magazines he reads (and we are in Utah, so maybe there is some Novell pride or something). My problem is that he doesn't believe BSD is an "enterprise ready platform" (his quote, not mine).

I have a large client in Toronto; one of the largest online credit card handlers in CA. They use OpenBSD almost exclusively now in place of Windows and Linux. This is for both load-balanced failover firewalls and for high-availability e-commerce servers. Does that not qualify as "enterprise ready"?
