Hi there,
For business world, especially for big companies, it is more important to have an enterprise level support for their IT infrastructure than saving some bucks from their opex.
Although being an old(!) article, I came accross with this publication recently (I think I had the link somewhere from this forum)

On the GNU/Linux front, RHEL is a major driver in terms of development and presence of GNU/Linux in the enterprise world. Like it or not, support that Redhat provides has made GNU/Linux much more known to the world than it would otherwise be (and some credit goes to Ubuntu here for their community)
Is there any such company in the FreeBSD world? Or do you fellows think such an initiative (enterprise level FreeBSD support) would bring any benefit to the community and FreeBSD project?
