If your databases are not ASE or Oracle, then migrating to FreeBSD is a
fine option. It's what we did at work. The benefits were immediate:
- we didn't lose the functioning desktop we didn't use
- I/O throughput improved
- maintenance simplified
- KISS, we now have traditional Unix systems that work how we want
them to
- we need real Unix sysadmins so all the one-day wonders who attended
Red Hat seminars went back to the Windows division
- you get all the good parts of a binary distro (a maintained
ready-built base) plus all the good parts of portage (from ports)
