(YHOO:Nasdaq), probably the highest-traffic Web site in the world, runs on Apache server-software running atop Linux." Seymour has tried to have this misinformation corrected. He writes today: "Hmmm. Just checked, and you're right. Odd, because I gave 'em the correction yesterday afternoon, almost immediately after the col appeared...and these usually go up right away." "Thanks for staying on top of this. I'll ping 'em again...." So far, though, the misinformation is still out there. I figured you FreeBSD advocates would like to know about Linux getting the credit that FreeBSD deserves.
