Hello,I don't know Greg's reasoning for that statement but it does seem
I remember reading in The Complete FreeBSD, by Greg Lehey, that you'll
be better off with an ISP that runs FreeBSD or BSD/OS. Can anyone
provide a scenario(s) where this would be most apparent?
rather wrong to me. Would you judge a waitress on their choice of
shoes? Of course not, you'd judge them based on their service. Would you decide on who to hire to build you
a fence based on what kind of screwdriver they use?
Heh, only if it was the *wrong* kind.
Why would you choose an ISP based on what tool they use to provide you with a service?
Well, first it reflects on their judgement. If they run on FreeBSD, I give them credit for better jedgement. Secondly, if you have problems or questions, you are more likely to get an intelligent answer if they run one of the BSDs. If they run MS, they are more likely to just say they don't support anything different when you ask.

I had an emotional outburst here; whether laughing, or crying, I'm not sure. Also, I'm not sure *why* --- either because it's a complete untruth, and very sad, or very funny; or else because it's absolutely correct and very sad, or somewhat funny.
I had to go back on my old Winbox to find this exchange, and it's quite unfortunate that as of yet, I can't find their reply:

*Yeah, I'm not really protecting anyone ... though the name won't resolve, there's any number of ways you can figure out who we're talking about if you really want to. Not that it matters that much, none of you use them (for which you should probably be grateful to Whomever)....
