They used to have some number of FreeBSD servers.
At one time cdrom.com was running a tweaked FreeBSD ftp server that racked up several transfer records... haven't followed that in a couple of years though.

Good posting.
We added some new Windows enterprise software to "improve" utility of our core Unix database.
The last two weeks have been sheer living hell. Everyone is pleading to just drop it and go back to the old Unix interface.
I am always amazed how at how poor MS Windows is at handeling memory. Glitches, slowdowns, lockups, incompatibilities that never before existed.
I really believe that MS Windows preys on any non MS software it encounters. If you don't have a 100% Microsoft environment, then you will have trouble.

If you don't have a 100% Microsoft environment, then you will have trouble.That's why the enterprise needs Samba on the back end.

I think that you meant to say " If you don't have a 100% Microsoft-FREE environment, then you will have trouble."

I believe that most of the firewalls that protect the millions of windows machines are built into various routers.
The routers OS's certinly aren't windows. I would guess Linux, but does anyone know?

I was stuck at work until 6:30 tonight trying to get shipments out the door.
Out of about 250 people at our plant I figure (4) four of us even have a clue how to use the hodgepodge of crap our Fortune 500 company forces us to use.

Depends, I've seen lots of BSD as base OS for firewalls.
To: babygene
Cisco router all run a proprietary OS that's basically a stripped down UNIX-like OS. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has some BSD ancestry in it, though it's mostly Cisco propietary code.
Cisco had a security problem last month that affected basically all Cisco routers worldwide and left them open to a denial of service attack that could shut down ethernet interfaces on the routers.
Most of the other router vendors use some kind of proprietary router OS, though many of those are BSD based, and I think some are now based on embedded Linux.
Many firewall and firewall appliance vendors use FreeBSD as the basis for their firewalls, and Linux is very common in web hosting services.

Dumbasses...big deal. A UNIX machine is just as vulnerable to a DoS/DDoS attack if enough data is thrown at it.
