For the past three (3) years I have used only FreeBSD for everything. Why anyone would want to use something else is beyond my comprehension. If it works great, and works stable, why not use it? BTW I run not only three web servers farms, but also we OSEF (Open Source Education Foundation) have K-12 children using it in their public schools. So wake up to the future, for it is here now.
