I would love to get some links that some of you have in your bookmarks on this. The person i'm trying to convince is a hardcore MS fan so i need real evidence of why BSD is better than MS products in server environments. Some friends of mine have told me that yahoo, msn and microsoft all use FreeBSD but until i can show him that and prove it to him that means nothing.
