Here are the answers I have to your questions. 1) Depending which license you buy starting at about $2000.00 2) Yes 3) ? 4) Yes 5) Yes 6) 1) Yes from BSD 2) Yes Additional Info: I have been runnig BSD for about 6 months now and love it. Evedently alot of others like it to since it is used on about 35-40 % of all servers. I comes boxed and ready to run. Almost no configuration if you go with the recommended hardware. It also comes with Apache Web Server which I really like as well. Check out their home page. You can get alot of info there,,,,,,, HAVE A PRODUCTIVE DAY MIKIE
