A BSD For Your PHB

Kelly McNeill writes "The reaction one gets when attempting to get a manager in a corporate environment to consider an alternate operating system can sometimes be likened to a typical dilbert comic strip. Joseph Mallett contributed the following editorial to osOpinion/osViews which suggests that if you present the case properly, your pointy haired boss will make the right decision when choosing a Unix operating system to run the business."

Re:OpenBSD Desktop? Icky Poo.

*thumbs up* I haven't played with OpenBSD in about a year, but back then I found it unfriendly to install and encountered some hardware incompatibilities. I've always found FreeBSD to be thoroughly stable and reliable as a server OS.

As a firewall may I recommend MonoWall. It is a single CD (around 6Mb) BSD-based firewall/NAT solution with web-based administration, and is absolutely brilliant.
