ciao,

i reference to rule #10 of RFC1925 that states :

<<One size never fit all>>

from my point of view it is a truth also in OS, not only in networking.

as long as my goal is a videogame station the "quality" OS maybe very 
different from the one i will consider "qualitative" for a webfarm.

in short the goal drives choice, and from my experience (over 35 years 
in IT) FreeBSD is the best-fit for use in internetworking, partially due 
to his resilence, partially for the overall quality of the kernel, 
partially for the ease-of-use, the ease-to-understood, open-source 
software availability and more "minor" properties

it is relatively simple to build and maintain a webfarm with FreeBSD as 
the *exclusive* OS without fear of "hackers", spam, virus and almost all 
internet-zoo.

in short : i *love* FreeBSD, if ever it will die feel there are more and 
more volunteers to bulid a new one that will honour the "twelve 
networking rules"

cheers
