Our universities use FreeBSD and Novell OSs for the servers. The admin people have identified that FreeBSD is far more stable and faster than Linux generally. There are close to 100K students in Manchester AFAIK, putting a large loading on the services offered. There are three main mail gateways (smarthosts), and all operate well. The local university networks comprise of four 100Mb FDDI rings (one per university) feeding into the 155Mb ATM Manchester backbone which connects to the Manchester Network Access Point (MaNAP) and two other core switching nodes for the academic community, via 155Mb ATM links. There are three DNS servers (all running FreeBSD), and are under very heavy load; All continously work perfectly. FreeBSD is well known for it's stability and performance operating as a server, and Manchester Computing uses it extensively. 8-) Well done FreeBSD team.
