I think you're missing the point here. There were 2 questions asked in the
original thread. First was are there any commercial distributions and
second, are there any companies that provide a for-fee support chain.

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

from changing stuff and forking off a

Apache's testing platform is FreeBSD. So probably it is release under
BSD license. Will have to check it out though.
HTTPD might be tested on FreeBSD, but not all apache projects are.
Tomcat is tested on sun and linux system I believe.

Hi,
first of all I want to congratulate you on FreeBSD, it is a really cool system!
I have a question regarding the creation of a branded commercial distribution based on
FreeBSD.

Well, you don't have to, but I would really appreciate it if you made

You're welcome to use BSD software in a commercial distribution. Have
fun.
If you contribute useful things back, that's nice, but you don't even have

Great, we had many idea for little tools and stuff like

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

And how is that different from Linux? FreeBSD is an Operating System, so is

develop SSH or swat, but it includes them. Just as linux distributions

Note that I don't entirely disagree with the response- IMHO, RedHat and
