Without going into detail,BSD has served our company extremely well for 
over fifteen years for all server purposes we need. File server, mail, 
MX, web, routing/firewalls you name it. Never let us down, the stability 
is just out of this world, the docs are excellent and the people great.

So,

1. Stability
2. Ease of upgrades
3. The community and developers

A big thank you to all that keeps us running!
