See my previous reply: Dell (Isilon, etc), Juniper, Panasas (sp?), Sandvine, WhatsApp (Facebook), etc. Example: Facebook has toyed around with converting their entire WhatsApp fleet away from FreeBSD in the datacenter to FB Linux. Let’s give them less ammo to do so. They were a major financial contributor to the FreeBSD project back a couple years ago, so like it or not, having FreeBSD be a compelling project is helping finance your “hobby OS”. Cheers, -Enji
