Maybe consider the chance that a FreeBSD OS can be turned into closed source (which the license explicitely allows) and put into some embedded device, a router, a DSL modem, a managed switch... In parts like this, you won't recognize FreeBSD anymore. If you consider such devices "niche devices", think again: You'll find them near any Internet-connected computer and among the bowels of the whole Internet.
Well we just picked up some Juniper MX80s here at work. That's right, they can route 80gbit/s and the OS that controls the hardware is basically FreeBSD at the core. (I understand the actual routing is fully done in hardware, but still -- I can get a familiar FreeBSD shell and do what I wish with these devices.)
I think FreeBSD is doing *just* fine. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
