Interesting how many people "dual-live" on this list:-)
I have been so allergic to Linux all these years until Ubuntu. I am
from Africa and I did not settle on Ubuntu just for the name but
because one client insisted he wanted a Unix server and it had to be
Linux.
I wonder what makes people live in both worlds - *BSD & Linux - is it
for similar reasons?

As regards DNS and DHCP servers, I'd never thought beyond BIND &
djbdns and isc-dhcpd respectively all these years (yes, my own Unix
epoch is 1997).
