Yahoo! must without doubt be one of the biggest feathers in FreeBSD's hat. I know that distributed.net runs FreeBSD. It would be nice to have something from them that shows that BSD can handle massive SQL databases for those that like that. I know that a lot of people for some reason turns to linux/MySQL when it comes to databases. Showing that a project like distributed.net with their huge databases uses FreeBSD should convince atleast some people to take another look at BSD. Does anyone know anyone inside Yahoo! or distributed.net? -- R
