I am faced with replacing a Linux - based Internet host supporting a small in-house LAN w
ith a new larger box to support a full campus and ultimately multiple campuses.  
I am also mandated to drop Linux and move to commercially supported software.  Two names that 
continue to come up are BSDI and Solaris.

I would appreciate any input from users of either of these systems or other flavors of BSDD
particularly those who are doing something similar t o what I have described .

Please respond to me directly.  I am under some time pressure to make this decision.

Thanks
