The strangest part is the info they give for FreeBSD: See below and the comparitive listing for Linux in which they really seem to be pushing Linux and also the cobalt Raq. 1) FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE ? Hello? 2) They don't seem to even mention that Yahoo uses FreeBSD 3) Do you think they could have said.. Please use Linux any harder? 4) Are they offing this themselves or have they made a deal with some company? It just seems so odd to see out of Yahoo....
