This article mentions FreeBSD in the best way possible (uptime!)

The following paragraph justifies this as a press announcement:

It took Microsoft about two years to switch Hotmail from FreeBSD to
Windows without completely disrupting the service. During this time,
Amazon, Google (news - external web site), Slashdot and many other
high-traffic sites continued to enjoy amazing uptime with Linux.
Yahoo!, probably the busiest site on the Web, enjoys the same kind
of uptime with FreeBSD -- and has for years.
