You must have a very good internet connection. If you have multiple servers,
you will gain immensely from setting up a local installation server instead
of using ones from the internet
Besides, it's not exactly a Linux/FreeBSD difference. There are multiple linux
distros that work on the BSD distribution principle. Most notably gentoo,
which uses a system that is very heavily inspired by *BSD. This does not
necessarily mean to say it's good for commercial use though
But it's a commercial world. If there is a demand, and customers request it
from their Novell contacts, it could happen
But my guess is that most customers see the benefit in having local setups.
Bandwidth can be better used for other purposes
