Kenneth is quite accurate. Look at what company does. I take OpenBSD and commercialize it. In the BSD world OpenBSD allows the maximum freedom. But most people have their noses stuck in the sand like an ostrich and their vision gets clouded the moment they see beyond Linux. With Linux a lot of things are unclear. In the GNU world Stallman has made life hell for commercial folks. He himself does not know what he wants. These problems are avoided in toto when you embrace the BSD world and in particular OpenBSD. Best of luck with your commercial endeavors. -Girish -- Om Muruga!
