Well, naturally, you don't know the background story. These guys I was
referring to have been running FreeBSD for years on their systems and
one of the major ISPs around here. Now someone here mentioned there was a
bug and it's now fixed. Well that's fine and I congratulate the FreeBSD team
for their system blabla etc. We'll try it out round here sometime but I'd like
to just point out that everything we've heard about FreeBSD tells us it's
not as great a system as you would imply. We'll know more, of course,
when we get round to testing it.
