So currently me and a friend have been working on a drive wiping software that has PXE integration and a Google style web GUI. Basically any systems on the network can boot into a secondary filesystem via NFS. Once the file system is booted over the network. Commands are sent via broadcast messages to the client machines to run shred commands and that uses image magic to record health status and wipe information to certificates. Anyway i need good over all driver support and i was wondering if i could switch to FreeBSD instead to prevent having to spend all that time to try and follow the licensing restrictions of Linux. Pretty much I am wondering if FreeBSD will have enough network, raid and sata controller drivers to wipe most of the Dell, Sun, IBM, HP, Lenovo and Netapp based equipment i will be destroying data on. Any ideas and what i should be looking out for?
I am not concerned with any other drivers besides networking, sata and raid.
