Does anyone know if DirectAdmin have any reseller and what's the different between their license scheme?

is life time = own and does that entitle me for fix/update and next release?

also, what is the most supported OS with DirectAdmin where you can find tip, trick and help with? my current server is running FreeBSD with DirectAdmin and it's a pain in the butt trying to find how to do x with FreeBSD/DirectAdmin and most third party DirectAdmin plug-in are aim at Linux and not FreeBSD. I really want to avoid this problem by going with the OS that have 90% deploy rate.

DA is built for Linux. BSD is portable I believe. We have rack of DA servers installed on CentOS without any trouble. I dont remember if owned license can get 1 year support or not, but John is always helpful.

It's actually only 90 days support as stated here (http://www.directadmin.com/pricing.html).

You really do not need this, just an email to support@directadmin.com John help whatever he can.

CentOS is by far the most compatible/supported operating system with DirectAdmin.
