They also tell the reader that another machine running the same Unix clone had been up for 458 days. I think that FreeBSD could have more fans (read users) if a survey was made (mainly for the ISPs running FreeBSD) stating the pros and cons of FreeBSD running under heavy load conditions (like wcarchive.cdrom.com).
