What do you think BSD/OS is? They take the FreeBSD code and repackage it
with some "propriatary software" and sell you tech support. A good
gimick if you can get it. They are usually at least one release level
behind, meaning with BSD/OS you always get out-dated software. Save your
money!! If FreeBSD can't do it for free it ain't going to do it for $$$!!
