And how is that different from Linux? FreeBSD is an Operating System, so is Red Hat, Debian, Stampede, SLS, Slackware, and on and on. FreeBSD does the same thing. FreeBSD didn't develop OpenSSL but it includes it, nor did it develop SSH or swat, but it includes them. Just as linux distributions do.
There is no big difference. Linux has more commercial support including first tier support, ala IBM, Compaq, Dell, and to s much shorter extent Sun Microsystems. You'll find many web hosting firms that offer managed care that can handle the operating system complete with technical support on most dedicated boxes. However, remember there that you're dealing with web farming. I don't know of many larger firms that offer specificly FreeBSD assistance except through VARs or custom box shops. If this is the route you’re looking to take, I'd be more than happy to lend assistance. David D.W.
