I agree. But do you think FreeBSD will be much worse than the Windows 7 they have been previously using? I assume they will harden FreeBSD as much as they can (hopefully).

Also, what *is" a more appropriate OS to use on these systems? OpenBSD? Linux?

Why not fix the problem and go to paper?

Budget more workers and do it the right way.
