but without most of the headaches of modern Linux..
Yes, it had a great community of people that were never willing to assist if there was someone asking a question that had been answered 15 years prior. It might be the BetaMax vs VHS debate (sure FreeBSD was superior). FreeBSD died long ago when the community was filled with people too smart to be bothered. Maybe it still is better but it will never get the community support and only gets mentioned on Slashdot to stir these types of feedback. Only us old people bitching about stuff that doesn't matter anymore. Maybe Tucows will have a version I can download and test.

Not sure what you are referencing exactly but while they hosted locally they often ran bundled software front end (think local Salesforce) with Oracle backends. I'm referring to 94-06 timeframe. Earlier doesn't count as most weren't online or didn't have those dependencies. I doubt very much if most built their own from scratch. I worked for a medium sized University. Def needed admins and db admins but good luck trying to have them show up on a weekend or night if it wasn't scheduled well in advance.

Get free heat as well. Be a target for theft and also back of the line when it comes to power consumption. Sorry, you can't use your own electricity today, it's cloudy and someone needs to run this query. Might even require a backup gas powered generator. Those things are so freaking loud.
Plus it will probably raise your insurance rates and when it becomes outdated, and it will you will be stuck with it.

Good idea, probably too premature to execute.
