This has resulted in us retaining full control of every aspect of the company while actually keeping our books in the black during our most aggressive growth.

Having over the past couple of years built a 400 site distributed network of secure wireless infrastructure on OpenBSD, FreeRadius, OpenVPN, PostgreSQL, and Apache/PHP, I don't think we could have survived startup with the kind of costs that would have been involved (including higher cpu, memory and storage requirements for our distributed appliance machines since if we were to use Windows we couldn't have stripped the OS down as far as OpenBSD allows). We still use Windows for all of our Small Business / Office needs and for customer integration to stay in the comfort zone of our Fortune 100 clients, but our operational pillars are all Open Source. BTW - nice to see you resurface, Scott. I was looking for you back in May to no avail and thought you must have joined the witness protection program or something. I agree, Scott.
