Yup.  And for the reasons I explained in that reply (or another),
Present Audience Size is a very important component of supportability 
for someone venturing into Linux for the first time in a Business
environment.  His questioning made it pretty clear this is an important
business server; running current supported commercial Linux distros for 
that is a *much* less risky approach than doing it on *BSD... not
even taking into account that (so far as I know) filePro *isn't supported
on BSD*.

I didn't just pull the reply out of my butt, Joel, and it wasn't a fanboi
response, as yours seems to suggest you think it is.

Cheers,
