Enough people have read this thread...
<SNIP>

I can't believe I'm responding to this.  Although I use FreeBSD myself, 
<AND> recommend it to clients for certain applications.  I can't believe 
that <ANY REAL> consultant would even think of recommending any of the 
"free" versions of UN*X for banking applications.  Banks need B1-B2 level 
security.  There are <NO> "free" versions of UN*X currently available 
that can meet this level of security.  Read the DoD's "Rainbow Series".

Must be "amateur hour" again.  Feel sorry for your customers...
