I expect to continue using FreeBSD for the foreseeable future for my services. FreeBSD has also been used by other groups within the Computer Laboratory. It was the initial choice and current production O/S for the new mail.msu.edu system, although they are switching to SuSE Linux 9.0 for their next upgrade (take a look at "http://project.mail.msu.edu/timeline.html").
