I live in the UK, so the below examples are UK-biased. Let's see: ------ .ac.uk sites (UK Academic) powered by FreeBSD www.sabe.bangor.ac.uk (I don't know what this is though.) inferno.cs.bris.ac.uk (Inferno---this machine "in adition to assisting with research into photorealistic graphics...was the main development site for Gid's Games, and a number of different projects, like a multi-user chat program, and an IBM PC emulator for Unix and X Windows, and the Early worms". www.pet.cam.ac.uk (Peterhouse College, Cambridge website.) B-1000 is the student radio station of Brunel. And they use FreeBSD for broadcasting across the net. http://hirta.tay.ac.uk/index.html (Plant Biotechnology Group, University of Abertay, Dundee) http://proxy.henley-cov.ac.uk/ (Henley College, Coventry) http://virtue.dmem.strath.ac.uk/ (University of Strathclyde Transparent Telepresence Group) ------ I can't find any in .co.uk, .mil.uk (if it exists), .org.uk, .gov.uk :( ------ Others: (I nicked some of these examples from this mailing list anyway.) Yahoo! FreeBSD Walnut Creek (www.cdrom.com) FreeBSD www.altavista.com FreeBSD www.filez.com FreeBSD www.x86.org FreeBSD www.ebay.com (Auctioneers) FreeBSD ftpsearch.ntnu.no FreeBSD www.kfu.com (The Duck Pond Public UNIX) FreeBSD http://vicor-nb.com/ (Vicor/Richmond) FreeBSD http://www.chicago.com/ FreeBSD http://www.asstdc.com.au/ (Assorted C Sofftware) FreeBSD Non-FreeBSD but BSD sites: www.teletext.com 4.4 BSD www.countryside.gov.uk NetBSD University of Minnesota OpenBSD www.pathname.com BSDI www.tetraworld.com BSDI ------ I seem to remember that Hotmail was bought by Microsoft and that they tried to use NT and that it couldn't cope with the strain so they had to use FreeBSD or something...is that right? ------ I got some of the above by telnet-ing to the machines and seeing what OS was running! Is there a better way to achieve the same thing without using telnet? Others I got by typing url:ac.uk AND "powered by freebsd" in Altavista advanced search. Ben.
