Yes, I know those guys. They base their infrastructure on Debian mostly.
And they've had the man power to build great system management tools,
like SEPP or the ISG Toolchest.

The reason why I bother this list is that I am impressed of OpenBSD from
the technical point of view. I like its consistency and purity. But in
business environments or comparable organizations where money is an
issue, one needs to think about system management very carefully, since
it has a direct impact on money as well. That's why I can't understand
people can really live with the 6 months lifecycle.

Thanks,
