Adam got me hooked on FreeBSD last Fall and I've been playing with it ever
since.  But I made a decision to base my network on Mandrake Linux and
converted my two Windows 2000 servers and my FreeBSD server to Mandrake. 
Then converted my Red Hat server to Mandrake also.  Now I'm running four
Mandrake 9 servers.

I like FreeBSD and only decided to use Linux because I know Linux much
better than FreeBSD.  But if they're going to institute these ridiculously
short EOL cycles, I'm going to shift all my servers to FreeBSD sometime in
the Summer.

Oh yeah, I love CVSUP/Ports!  Keeping your systems up-to-date using ports
are easy and painless.  No need to upgrade once you start the build world
process.. you stay abreast of everything using nothing more than CVSup.
