Many times. > Why not put the "Why Yahoo is so fast" on the www.freebsd.org web page? A few advocacy anecdotes here and there might make the page (and project) seem a little more active--by showing examples of _who_ uses freebsd. I think that's the point behind trying to have yahoo put a freebsd logo on their page. Nowhere on the freebsd homepage does it make reference to our user base (aside from the "developed and maintained by a large team of individuals" statement, which uses the verbs "developed" and "maintained" in their passive forms which makes them hardly worth saying). Seeing concrete connections (by anecdote) between an operating system and _who_ is using it is something that is primarily what a lot of would-be-users are looking for IMHO.
