1] provide ports to Windows & Macintosh. Although this isn't
"necessary" and would require extra work, these are the mostly
commonly encountered OS. People understand how to use installers on
these platforms and doesn't require wiping a disk to reinstall [e.g.,
using the iso disk still requires booting into linux]. Don't even get
me started on trying to install without the iso
I second the mac os, but for a more devious reason. mac osx uses a *BSD
based ports system, so I think you should do Freebsd full support, the
BSD networking stack is VERY fast, and for (multi-tenant) you can use
freebsd Jails instead of vmware virtualization.
freebsd jails is NOT virtualization, and since 7.2 allows multiple nics,
ip's per jail. this will let someone install LOTS of sipx servers on
one box, saving space and since jails isn't virtualization, you don't
have the vm type overhead. (well, you don't have the vm type management
either, but maybe you don't want it)
