So much for Yahoo being mostly FreeBSD based? :(
Waaah
They still have many FreeBSD servers but have ended up with quite a
mix of operating systems, including Linux and Solaris. Much of that is
through company acquisitions with infrastructures that were already
built out and would be difficult to change over, even if it was
desired to do so :'(
