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"... Marc G.
