By all means.... :)

What sort of software do you develop for FreeBSD?

Don't forget a responsive support team that works essentially for
free, and bugfix turnaround times normally measured in hours or days
instead of months. ;-) Even though I have a bunch of really
expensive SGI's and another bunch of fairly inexpensive FreeBSD
machines here, I still prefer to work on the 486's. Thank goodness
most of the IRIX GUI sysadmin tools display just fine on the FreeBSD
systems. :)
