What struck me as interesting =20 the first time I read it is the following sentence: "In many ways, FreeBSD has always been the operating system that =20 GNU/Linux=AE-based operating systems should have been." Given this position, I find it curious that IBM chose to put the =20 majority of their push behind Linux. Does anyone know if they use FreeBSD internally, and if so, for what?
