Where is this information? I looked around briefly and couldn't
find any mention of it. Perhaps someone should contact them and find
out exactly what kind of hardware they have and the amount of load
placed on the FreeBSD servers. I always knew a FreeBSD box made an
awesome Web server. ;-) Perhaps we should encourage someone there to
participate in some of the mailing lists and tell us of any pitfalls
or shortcomings of using FreeBSD on such a heavily-visited site.
BTW, I also found this while I was there:
* The Way - Monthly mag devoted to DOS, Windows, FreeBSD, and keeping
them up to date on the Web. Software updates and patches,
Instructions and e-mail support. Imagemaped hotlists and more...
(http://theway.com/)
I tried the link, but got a network error. Anyone know who these
people are?

Yes, get someone (or two) from Yahoo on these lists.
