	From what I understand, the way the contract is, they're a
subsidary in all by name.

	True, I should have said that they're MAINLY FreeBSD. AFAIK, they
try to migrate existing services over to FreeBSD as they can, mostly to
ease the cost of admining multiple platforms. (Hardware and OS) On the
other hand, my info is outdated as of 18 mths ago, my contact no longer
works there.
