By that same logic people using FreeBSD should have upgraded to 4.2, ruining their uptimes. Some evidently did, but if Linux 2.0.whatever was as stable as FreeBSD 2.2.whatever (i.e. dating from the same time period), one should expect to see them both represented at the top of the list, all other things being equal. As noted by other respondants, this only shows information about very old versions of Linux and FreeBSD by its very nature.
