Greetings.

I've been running Linux for over a year now as a platform for several 
different desktop and server applications.  I've been reasonably 
impressed with its flexibility, compatibility, and overall viablility.  

As a rapidly growing internetworking services provider and turn-key ISP 
systems integrator, I often wonder if I could be using something even 
more robust.  With the great price/performance ratio provided by the 
Pentium, I am inclined to stick with Intel rather than investing in Sun 
or Digital.  Since the 'net provides such rich support resources for 
Linux and BSD, I can't imagine spending thousands on SCO or others.

So, I'm wondering if some of you would be interesting in debating whether 
I should stick to Linux or try BSD.

Have at it!
