Anyone care to comment on this at www.zdnet.com.au
To anonymous FreeBSD user.
Due to its licence, FreeBSD cannot become an enterprise platform
from the vendor's perspective. They all fear heavy proprietisation
and forking of any non-GPL codebase.
The only OS that can fly to where the Open Source world wants it to
fly is Linux, FreeBSD is now 5+ years behind in terms of enterprise
readiness. Please keep up with the times and avoid this whole OS
pissing contest thing.
Remember, we're not talking single-CPU internet servers anymore.
FreeBSD cannot scale to 64 CPUs nor does it have the hardware support
necessary to breach the enterprise space.
