Great...but slight problem is *how* are these ppl using FreeBSD?
Technically, I could probably throw Acadia University (in Canada) on that
list since I use FreeBSD as my desktop machine...not quite what I'd want
someone to weigh a decision on though...

The Advocacy one is slightly better, but I question accuracy...when did
HotMail switch from Solaris to FreeBSD?  Last I heard, they tried to
switch to NT and then moved back to Solaris...

And Yahoo...I thought they were a heterogenous vs homogeneous
network...they didn't use just one OS but several different ones.  The
Advocacy site, though, says "exclusively"...
