Well, I have used BSDI . As for support, I rather have FreeBSD or Linux. Why do I like FreeBSD or Linux ? Well, the cheer number of developers out in the Net that can help me with a problem or the users which in many instances also rally around a product to support it. Specially, for not so obvious problems. I am not saying that BSDI support is bad or that their product is inferior. Sorry to ask this dumb question: Is InfoWorld like the National Enquirer?
