This is going to kill me to say this because I have been using freebsd since 2.x but the lack of commercial support from the likes of Dell really hurts. Recently I couldn't find the cli utility to manage a raid card because the ports system had an out of date location for the source. I was reduced to shutting down a production server just to flip some configuration bits. Freebsd is absolutely rock solid as an OS. The support from certain hardware vendors is a different story.
- calloc 16y agoI wish there was a commercial vendor out there that would have FreeBSD available. It would be very helpful in getting it into more businesses as that is a major show stopper.
- Lanzaa 16y agoI believe there are commercial vendors supporting FreeBSD out there. Here is one that I have heard of: http://www.ixsystems.com/bsdsupport http://www.ixsystems.com/bsdsupport I'm sorry I don't have any experience with them, but you might be able to try them out.
- gkelly 16y agoI think there could be a major market for this, given that Oracle is no longer giving away Solaris. With ZFS support, FreeBSD is a very attractive alternative.
