Dan, I was given a link to this article when it was first written in December: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/23348.html Assuming the information is accurate, it still runs in part on FreeBSD. Though The Register itself does not have a reputation for being the most objective of sources, I'm just passing the information along for your (and the list's) edification and amusement. Maybe others here can offer specifics.
