FreeBSD is different, because the complete OS is developed and
managed by the project, including ports. There is basically no
need for a distro maker, because FreeBSD _is_ the distro itself
(call it the _canonical_ distro, because nothing prevents you
from changing stuff and forking off a
sued by SCO? (just kidding, sort of)
Your feedback would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Udo

You're creating a turnkey system with a known and well-defined layout
which
includes all of the dependencies to run your proprietary software. Look
into
man release, which discusses how to customize a build and create CD
images.
Yes, I already made a few builds. We're currently (mainly)
Wind River Systems and other vendors will sell FreeBSD CDs, and there are
examples of dedicated systems using FreeBSD that come to mind, such as the
Nokia IP firewall platform. Or were you talking about a commercial
distro
in terms of a company that provides/charges for technical support...?
