That'll be a massive migration involving lots and lots of costs. They have to pay for RedHat Enterprise too. The only reason I can think off is that they want support.Perhaps I missed a part, but I don't see the word FreeBSD in that article. Besides, the point of the article is not regarding a migration of Yahoo, but Linux and IT in general. It has nothing to do with Yahoo or FreeBSD. I think that the author of the article is simply mistaking. Jorn.
