Sort of OT, but not really ... filePro and SCO vs. Linux

Installed filePro 5.0.14 this spring on a Dell pizza box server running FreeBSD 
6.1 and everything worked flawlessly from the start with no dinking around with 
special drivers. This same server is kinda wiggy with some OS's (including older 
version of FreeBSD) due to needing lots of special drivers because of new 
hardware pieces and parts.

I recommend and I use CentOS instead of a desktop Linux distribution when I 
*have* to use a Linux. All the benefits of RedHat Enterprise Linux without all 
the logos. Literally.

HOWEVER,
You'll have to pry my cold dead fingers from using FreeBSD if I have *any* 
choice in a server OS.
